Modern school layouts can range from modest private schools with a single main building to sprawling public schools with hundreds of students. However, all great modern school layouts should share similar safe structural designs, non-toxic and eco-friendly materials, and features that promote a more comfortable, stimulating environment. Many schools with deep historical roots can improve their institution by designing modern, sustainable additions while preserving their older school buildings. Aside from developing a structure that can support these two factors, schools must also be designed with durability and safety in mind due to the wear and tear they will endure over time.
