2014 CAE Design Excellence Awards

The AIA Committee on Architecture for Education (CAE) is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2014 CAE Education Facility Design Awards!

The Design Awards is an internationally recognized marketplace of ideas. Through this forum the committee disseminates quality ideas on educational facility planning and design to clients, architects, and the public. This awards program is an opportunity to engage in critical evaluation and experimentation, not as an end in itself, but always in the context of our clients and their needs.

Thank you to the 2014 jury members for reviewing and selecting the projects: John R. Dale, FAIA (Chair); Claire Gallagher, Assoc. AIA (Vice Chair); Fred Dust; Dutch MacDonald, AIA and Marsha Maytum, FAIA.

Congratulations to this year's recipients! Look for them to be presented at the CAE reception in June at the AIA 2014 National Convention and Design Exposition in Chicago.
