The Committee on Architecture for Education (CAE) is dedicated to advancing the quality, design, and impact of educational, cultural, and recreational facilities. The committee serves as a collaborative forum for architects, educators, planners, and civic leaders to explore how thoughtful design can enhance learning experiences and strengthen connections between educational environments and the communities they serve. CAE recognizes that well-designed spaces play a critical role in supporting innovation, equity, wellness, and lifelong learning.

Through dialogue, knowledge-sharing, and advocacy, the committee promotes best practices in the planning and design of learning environments for students of all ages. CAE facilitates the exchange of ideas and resources through lectures, panel discussions, workshops, site tours, and other educational programming that address emerging trends, challenges, and opportunities in educational design. Topics include sustainability, safety, flexibility, accessibility, and the integration of schools with cultural and recreational spaces.

The committee also emphasizes the importance of community engagement and neighborhood connectivity, encouraging designs that foster collaboration, inclusivity, and shared use. By bringing together diverse perspectives and expertise, CAE works to elevate educational architecture and support the creation of inspiring, resilient, and inclusive learning environments that positively impact both learners and the broader community.
