"The Association for Learning Environments is a community of professionals dedicated to the design and construction of great learning spaces. Our members understand the impact that the environment has on student success and are committed to creating learning spaces that inspire."
The website offers comprehensive practical resources – primarily for professionals in the field of architecture and design, but also for teachers, school administrators, and those involved in education policy. Most resources are freely accessible. These include podcasts, webinars, an online journal, presentations from past conferences, guidelines, and much more. The association is primarily active in the USA, but also has branches in Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia, and Europe.

"The Association for Learning Environments was first established in 1921 as the National Council on Schoolhouse Construction (NCSC) then becoming Council of Education Facility Planners International (CEFPI) in 1971. It took its current name in 2015." [Summary: Information provided by the editors of the site and supplemented by the editors of Education Worldwide]
