John R. Dale
FAIA, LEED AP
Principal, K-12 Studio Leader
A Principal at Harley Ellis Devereaux in Los Angeles, John Dale has been involved in the master planning, programming and design of public and private projects for almost 30 years. He has created high performance pre-school through secondary school environments. By defining small learning communities which boost student achievement, promote sustainability, and galvanize community involvement, he has established widely recognized models of regional and national significance. John has also been a leader in promoting green schools. Building on evidence-based research, he has put in practice the theory that students are healthier and learn more effectively in well-ventilated, acoustically balanced, naturally lit spaces with strong connections to the outdoors—all features of energy-conserving, sustainable design. John is currently the chair of the AIA CAE Alternate Learning Environments Subcommittee.
