Who We Are

We are the peak body advocating for innovative learning environments throughout Australia and New Zealand. We are involved in regional research programs, conferences, awards, publications and much more.

At a local level, our Chapters and members are actively involved in planning, designing, building, equipping and maintaining learning environments that enhance learning outcomes for students.

What We Do

Each year we curate over 60 events that provide a fantastic opportunity to engage with educators, architects and organisations to share best practice, engage in ongoing research and explore latest trends.

We are an association that is international, we are a catalyst for improving learning environments worldwide and we speak in the ‘voice’ of those with whom we engage with, whilst embracing our JEDI (justice, equity, diversity, inclusion) principals.

Our Awards Programs

Our Awards Programs celebrate our members’ projects that demonstrate effectiveness in the planning, design and construction of educational facilities across the region.

The Awards supports the questioning and challenging of our current practices, to ensure the continual improvement and excellence we strive for.
