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.

  

AIA CAE K12 subcommittee debrief & resources

  • 1.  AIA CAE K12 subcommittee debrief & resources

    Posted 10-08-2020 08:53 AM

    This month's AIA CAE K12 subcommittee call included a wealth of information from Jaime Zaplatosch, Director for Children and Nature Network and Melissa Turnbaugh, Principal at PBK, on green schoolyards and the host of benefits for learning, health & wellness, community and the environment. The presentation covered green schoolyard basics, resources, case studies of district-wide programs around the country and touched on outdoor learning during COVID19. A rich and relevant conversation, Jaime brought forward a wealth of  resources developed by the Children and Nature Network that might help us all better implement city-wide, equity-based program development across the U.S. Including building partnerships, as well as the creative development and use of green space to support thriving communities. Check them out!
