Louis Meilink Elevated to AIA College of Fellows

Louis A. Meilink, Jr., Ballinger principal, was recently elevated to the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects.
Since joining the firm in 1987, Meilink’s design solutions have helped shape the future of healthcare. He led the design of significant buildings for NewYork-Presbyterian, Weill Cornell Medical College, Tower Health System, the University of Maryland Medical Center, the University of Rochester Medical Center, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, NYU Langone Health, Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health and Penn Medicine Chester County Hospital, among others. Meilink is an author, speaker and active member of the AIA Academy of Architecture for Health.

Meilink was nominated by Ballinger’s Terry D. Steelman, FAIA, who describes Meilink as “a talented architect with a unique ability to balance the programmatic, budget and schedule demands of the healthcare client while aspiring to create noteworthy buildings with innovative healing environments. Consequently, he has become a trusted advisor to some of the nation’s top academic medical center leaders.”

The Fellowship program recognizes architects who have achieved a standard of excellence in the profession and made a significant contribution to architecture and society on a national level. Fellows are selected by a seven-member jury of peers.
