AIA: Students to Design Learning Environment

Target and the American Architectural Foundation to Announce Student 
Design Contest at School Building Expo; Students to Design Their Ideal 
Learning Environment


Target and the American Architectural Foundation will launch their 
national design contest that asks high school students to generate ideas 
about the schools and classrooms of the future at a gathering of school 
architects in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Wednesday, March 7. The 
contest is titled: "Redesign Your School -- A Contest of Scholarly 
Proportions." Students in 9th through 12th grade are asked to submit 
original designs for their ideal places to learn in the 21st century. 
Scholarships up to $10,000 and other prizes will be presented to 
winners, eight of whom will also be invited to Washington, D.C., to 
present their ideas.

The announcement will take place at 8:30 a.m. at School Building Expo, 
the nation's largest gathering of school design architects and vendors 
who supply products for school buildings. School Building Expo is 
produced in cooperation with The American Institute of Architects, the 
nation's leading architecture association.
