School Building Designs

Major Educational Architecture Projects from around the World



Guide to School Building Designs

We've selected what we feel are the key examples of School Building Designs. We aim to include projects that are either of top quality or interesting, or ideally both.

We cover completed education buildings, new building designs, architectural exhibitions and architecture competitions across the world. The focus is on contemporary Education buildings but information on traditional buildings is also welcome.

We have 4 pages of School Architecture selections with links to many individual project pages.
