History

The Educational Facilities Association was started in the early 1950’s as a cooperative effort between a small group of educational facility managers and owners. The intent was to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and promote cooperation between educational facilities. The association has evolved from its humble beginnings.

Conferences

Conferences, which were held once a year, focus on topics of interest to educational facility managers and owners. Early meetings were attended by approximately 50 people. In recent years summer conferences have been attended by over 1000 people. In 2003, the Educational Facilities Association expanded its activities with new programs:

Winter Conference

The Winter Conference highlights the excellent design capabilities of our Associate Members. It is held over a three day period in a southern state.

Summer Conference

The Summer Conference encourages qualified persons to choose a career of educational facilities management. It is a weeklong conference held in various locations throughout the nation.
