AIA COTE would appreciate your participation in a program to re-cycle
product samples as art material for student projects. The Houston AIA
Committee On The Environment is constantly looking for ways protect
the environment. Architectural and Interior Design oces, as well as our
product vendors, are continually updating their product libraries and
product lines. Rather than these excess and outdated materials going to
a landfill, we collect and distribute these materials to teachers for use in
their student art projects. Product samples may consist of the following:
- Carpet samples (books and large samples)
- Fabric samples
- Wall covering samples
- Flooring samples (VCT, ceramic, vinyl, linoleum, wood, cork, etc.)
- Plastic Laminate samples
- Paint samples
- Glass samples
- Other appropriate samples (no individual items over 2 pounds)
This is our tenth collection/distribution event and to date we have
provided over 35,000 pounds of materials for Houston area student’s
art projects.
We welcome all Fine Arts Teachers to
pick up samples on:
September 29, 2012
9:00 AM to 10:00 AM
At the:
Green Building Resource Center
1002 Washington Avenue
Houston, TX 77002

The building is located on Washington
Ave. to the east of Houston Ave. and next
to the Amtrak Station. This is also the
Houston Permitting Center. There is
plenty of free parking.
All materials are on a first-come first serve
basis and they go fast.
