This year we especially seek proposals that foster inclusive and equitable learning environments.

What is the LEG Program?

The purpose of the LEG program is to fund the creation of innovative, inclusive, and engaging informal and formal learning environments.

The Learning Environments Grant defines formal learning environments as classrooms and course-related laboratories, and defines informal learning environments as corridors, study areas, and social spaces. Changes to physical spaces can enhance learning and build community among students, faculty, and staff in your school, department, or unit.

History of the Learning Environments Grant

The Learning Environments Grant was first offered in 2003. See recent past awardees and projects below.
