CAE Educational Facility Design Awards Due December 14
The Committee on Architecture for Education (CAE) Educational Facility Design Awards program is open to projects for pre-K, K–12, higher education, alternative, and unique learning environments. 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. Entries are due December 14. For more information on the awards program, please visit the CAE conference Web site.
