The Association for Learning Environments (A4LE) is a nonprofit professional association in the facilities services field, based in Scottsdale, Arizona. It serves the people who use, plan, design, construct, maintain, equip, and operate educational facilities by acting as an advocate and resource for effective learning environments. The organization traces its history to 1921, when it was founded as the National Council on Schoolhouse Construction, later becoming the Council of Education Facility Planners International before adopting its current name in 2015. A4LE emphasizes that the built environment influences learning, development, and behavior, and it regards careful planning and broad collaboration as essential to quality facilities. It positions itself as the primary advocate and resource for educational facilities, supporting standards-based measurement and opportunities for sharing and networking among practitioners. Recent developments include regional leadership appointments and the organization’s LearningSCAPES event, with Phoenix set to host the annual gathering in late October to early November 2025.
