Architect at Firm in Point Borough Honored by Statewide Organization

Verity L. Frizzell received a Distinguished Service Award from the New Jersey chapter of the American Institute of Architects on Saturday.

Frizzell, principal architect at Feltz & Frill Architects in Point Pleasant, was recognized with the AIA-NJ Distinguished Service Award on Saturday.

A Bay Head resident, she is currently the chair of the AIA-NJ Committee on the Environment and is a past president of the Jersey Shore section, one of the statewide organization’s six regional sections.

The organization recognized its service award winners at the organization’s annual gala at The Waterside in North Bergen. The annual event also included installing AIA-NJ’s 2012 officers and honoring the winners of its design competition.

“These awards are given to architects, architectural firms and individuals for their accomplishments in their field and for their contributions to the community,” said Laurence E. Parisi, 2012 AIA-NJ president. “We (had been looking) forward to the honor of recognizing these individuals, who have been instrumental in reshaping and revitalizing the built environment in which we live as well as in serving those in need.”
