  Justice Calls for JFR2007 Entries
The AIA Academy of Architecture for Justice invites all registered architects to submit projects representing state-of-the-art in justice facility design for possible inclusion in the Justice Facilities Review 2007. A jury of architects and justice facilities administrators will screen entries; selected projects will be published in the 2007 Review and featured in several traveling exhibits. Firms with five or fewer staff are eligible to submit entries at a discounted rate. All forms and submission binders (with CD-ROMs) are due February 28. The detailed call for entries and entry forms are available on the Academy of Architecture for Justice Web site.

School Building Expo, CAE Unite for Conference March 6–8 in West Palm Beach
The 2007 School Building Expo, March 6–8, in West Palm Beach, Fla., is the premier gathering of architects, school facilities planners, and other professionals charged with designing school facilities for America's children. It's held in conjunction with the meeting of the AIA Committee on Architecture for Education, so it's really two meetings in one. This is the event of the year for school architects, so don't miss it. You can share new ideas, learn innovative and practical methods to use in your practice, and earn 15 CES learning units to boot. You'll tour some of South Florida's most interesting schools and have the opportunity to visit with more than 125 suppliers of school facilities products in the exhibit hall. Visit the expo Web site for more information and to register.
