Who we are

The Committee on Architecture for Education (CAE) is a Knowledge Community of the American Institute of Architects (AIA). We are a large and active group of over 10,000 architects and allied professionals concerned with the quality and design of all types of educational, cultural, and recreational facilities that promote lifelong learning in safe, welcoming and equitable environments. The CAE’s mission is to foster innovative and collaborative design of educational facilities and to heighten public awareness on the importance of learning environments.

    Hello CAE gang -

    I wanted to pass along a news clip that Brian Minnich served as our spokesperson for (and on a very tight deadline) where he made the point that student safety begins with building design.  The focus of the article is on a school system that has increased safety measures and it includes great messaging on the value of design as a preventative safety measure - so great exposure for the CAE and the work that architects do.

    Thurston County schools boost safety measures in wake of shooting
    No one was injured when a 16-year-old student fired shots inside North Thurston High School last April. But South Sound school officials say they're using it as an example as they work on ways to prevent or respond to similar events.

     Brian, thanks for taking time to help us respond to this inquiry on short notice.
