Learning Environments Victoria Chapter Awards Registration



As a leader in the field of educational facilities, Learning Environments invites you to make submissions for the 2020 Learning Environments Victoria/Tasmanian Chapter Awards.

These Awards are open to registered LEA members* whose projects demonstrate excellence in the planning and design of educational facilities in Victoria and Tasmania.


The core mission of the awards is to celebrate excellent learning spaces where innovative architectural ideas support the education philosophy.


Awards will be presented on Friday 23rd October at a ceremony at Craft & Co., 390 Smith Street Collingwood (6.00 – 8.00pm).  The event will be run in accordance with the advice of Victoria’s Chief Health Officer to ensure the continued and effective management of the spread of COVID-19, with alternative arrangements to be made if restrictions prohibit a public gathering taking place.
