The AIA Committee on Architecture for Education (CAE) annually honors excellence in educational and cultural facilities through its design awards program. While showcasing and celebrating exemplary architecture for education, the program also identifies trends and emerging ideas and disseminates the best ideas and knowledge about educational facility planning and design to clients, architects, and the public.
Eligibility
The Educational Facility Design Awards program recognizes
- Projects including pre-K, K–12, higher education, and alternative schools; innovative learning centers; training centers; and nontraditional learning environments
- Projects involving new construction, additions, and renovations or modernizations
- Master plans, including multiple sites and/or phases
- Commissioned and completed research projects (however, not hypothetical projects)
See the AIA Educational Facility Awards Homepage for other eligibility requirements.
Recognition
The program issues three kinds of awards:
- Awards of Excellence for exemplary projects that
(a) enhance the client's educational program;
(b) integrate functional needs and aesthetic considerations while respecting the surrounding community and context; and
(c) represent best practices in planning and design
- Awards of Merit for other projects of superior quality
- Citations for outstanding features of individual projects
Recipients' work will be displayed through several vehicles that reach school boards, administrators, facilities managers, and other client groups around the country and the world.
