  Submissions due December 31 for 2007 Educational Facility Design Awards
The AIA Committee on Architecture for Education (CAE) invites you to submit projects representing state-of-the-art early childhood learning environments, K–12 schools, innovative learning centers, and higher-education projects. The CAE Educational Facility Design Awards program recognizes outstanding learning environment planning and design throughout the world. Through this program, quality ideas on educational facility planning and design are disseminated to clients, architects, and the public. This awards program is an opportunity to recognize critical evaluation, thoughtful planning and design, and appropriate experimentation, not as an end in itself, but in the context of a client’s needs. For details and to submit online, visit the CAE Web site.
