CELE Exchange is the journal of the OECD Centre for Effective Learning Environments (CELE) (formerly PEB Exchange  – the OECD Programme on Educational Building). It addresses issues related to providing a quality educational infrastructure in a cost-effective way. Recent themes covered include innovative and environmentally sustainable design, asset management, science facilities, libraries, seismic safety and campus development.

CELE Exchange informs its readers – educators, policy makers, architects, managers and others concerned with schools and universities – of international events, recent publications and research, member countries' experiences and OECD activities promoting the efficient planning and management of educational facilities.
