The Connecticut Architectural Licensing Board on Sept. 23 approved seven applicants for licensure after confirming exam passage and routine staff review.

The board listed the seven individuals whose applications it approved: Aaron Gallagher, Alexa Ashton, Carlton Gary III, Duncan Fox, Cassandra Luego, Aria Peralta and Eric Celeste. A board member moved to approve the group and another seconded; the motion passed by voice vote.

Why it matters: These approvals allow the named individuals to practice as licensed architects in Connecticut, subject to the state's licensing rules and continuing-education requirements.

Other routine matters
Board staff reported that several categories of applications—including 71 licensure-by-waiver requests and 15 corporate-practice filings—had been approved by staff as routine matters. The board treated those listings as formalities during the meeting.

What the record shows
The transcript records a motion and a second to approve the seven exam-pass applicants and a voice vote of "Aye" to adopt the approvals. No dissent or abstentions were recorded on the action.

Next steps
Staff will update the licensing register to reflect the newly approved architects and proceed with routine notifications.
