KnowledgeWorks Foundation, in partnership with The American Architectural Foundation, seeks submissions for the Richard Riley Award that recognizes design and educational excellence in schools as centers of community — the award is a $10,000 prize.
Schools that serve as centers of community provide a rich array of social, civic, recreational and artistic opportunities to the broader community and to students, often clustering educational and municipal buildings together. These additional services and opportunities often improve student achievement and help maximize local tax dollars.
All public schools, including charter schools, are eligible to submit entries. The deadline is July 9.
