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.
Presented by Kelly Martinez, Assoc. AIA The National School Supply & Equipment Association (NSSEA) had their annual School and Equipment Show in Tampa, Florida, November 7-9, 2012. I presented my work from the AIA CAE research scholarship, in which I studied four award-winning schools. The schools were an early childhood learning center, an elementary school for the arts, a school for students with autism, and an Early College High School.
