D21’s background in educational facility planning leverages their expertise to guide the design and development of learning environments that are conducive to education and growth. Their approach aligns with the core competencies of an Accredited Learning Environment Planner (ALEP), which include educational visioning, community engagement, pre-design planning, design of learning environments, project management, facility assessment, and a strong ethical and professional foundation.
The ALEP certification, offered by the Association for Learning Environments, represents excellence in the field, denoting individuals who have demonstrated a comprehensive understanding and application of these core competencies. To achieve ALEP certification, candidates must either complete the Advanced Academy Certificate Program, achieving at least 80% in each of its six modules, or undergo a Professional Assessment Process that includes a dossier review and interview. This rigorous process ensures that ALEPs are well-equipped to lead the development of effective and supportive educational spaces.
The certification process underscores the importance of creating educational environments that align with the latest pedagogical insights and community needs, ensuring that facilities support both teaching and learning effectively. By holding an ALEP designation, professionals like those at D21 Architects signal their commitment to excellence in educational facility planning and their capability to contribute meaningfully to the field.
