Organizer: Association for Learning Environments
The A4LE Midwest Great Lakes Region Conference is an annual professional gathering for education leaders, architects, planners, designers, and facilities professionals focused on improving learning environments through intentional planning, design, and operations. The conference emphasizes how the physical environment supports teaching, learning, and community goals, with sessions exploring educational visioning and community engagement, pre-design and master planning, and the design of educational facilities aligned with instructional models and long-term institutional needs. Key topic areas also include project delivery and implementation, lifecycle planning and commissioning, post-occupancy assessment of school facilities, and ethics and professionalism in the stewardship of public and private investment in education. Across sessions, the program highlights health, safety, and welfare considerations, inclusive and equitable design, stakeholder collaboration, and data-informed decision-making to create learning environments that serve diverse learners and communities effectively.
