April 28–May 1 | Seattle | The Alexis Royal Sonesta Hotel Seattle
Join us for the AIA Committee on Architecture for Education Spring Conference 2026! Set in a region defined by dramatic natural context, vibrant international trade, industrial innovation, ecological stewardship, and cultural diversity, this year’s program explores and builds on designing for belonging.
Curated bus tours guided by architects, educators, clients, and community partners will highlight outstanding AIA award-winning and other projects across the learning continuum. Over four days, you'll gain place-based insight into how Seattle’s design community is advancing equity, belonging, and sustainability. As schools navigate post-pandemic realities and increased emotional and mental health focus, we hope to spark relevant conversations of what makes these projects impactful for students and communities of all ages.
Come to connect, stay to be inspired by—and with!—colleagues shaping the future of educational environments.
