Architecture Licensing Board

The first Architect Act enacted on June 3, 1897 was the first licensing law in the nation.

Architecture was included in the scope of the agency upon its creation in 1917. The Board

is made up of six members appointed by the Secretary consisting of four licensed architects

with at least ten years of active practice, one licensed architect who is a tenured member of

the architectural faculty of an Illinois public university accredited by the National

Architectural Accrediting Board, and one public member. The practice of architecture

includes the offering of professional services, such as consultation, environmental analysis,

feasibility studies, programming, planning, etc., in connection with the construction of any

private or public building, building structure, building project or addition or alteration or

restoration. The Board is charged with providing curriculum evaluation, conducting oral

interviews, advising on disciplinary matters and providing expert advice and knowledge on

professional conduct and performance.
