The AIA New York Chapter's "Committee on Architecture for Education" (CAE) is the local affiliate of AIA National’s CAE. The committee provides and organizes events where architects, educators, educational administrators, and the public can meet and exchange ideas that may promote better educational facilities of all kinds.

We provide opportunities where the design community can meet the people who administrate the various agencies that control design and construction budgets and discuss mutual concerns and interests. Our goal includes maintaining ties to other committees and affiliated organizations for events of mutual interest at both the local and national level.

Such events are prepared in monthly "Planning Meetings" open to all committee members and other interested AIA members. Recently, we identified the following topics that we consider relevant for the design of educational facilities:

• What kind of space is conducive to individual learning and works for inter-class projects?
• How do school buildings meet and/or encourage community needs?
• Are new schools flexible enough to meet future needs?

We encourage you to come and expend on this list or add new topics to it!
