Abstract: This document chronicles and evaluates the work of the Adult Education Association of the USA by its Commission on Architecture as the starting point for concern about how the places used for adult education are a part of the learning equation. A critical analysis of this first commission of a national professional organization shows that individual motivation often sustained the work, but that the question has often lost its place in the concerted efforts of adult educators when that individual was no longer championing the cause. The article chronicles the work of the Commission noting the following highlights: (1) acceptance by the Adult Education Association of a $2,000 grant in 1953 to conduct a conference to examine the implications of adult education for school architecture and to disseminate recommendations; (2) two Commission meetings in 1955 at which the Commission developed an outline for a book, "Architecture for Adult Education," and then approved the text, format, and examples; (3) distribution of the book by 1958; and (4) the Commission's last and largest project, the national Conference on Architecture in December 1958. The paper concludes with a brief reference to rebirth of interest in adequate physical facilities and the creation of a new Commission on Planning Adult Learning Systems, Facilities and Environments.
