For nearly a century, American School & University has served education professionals responsible for the planning, design, construction, retrofit, operations, maintenance, and management of education facilities.
AS&U's mission, based on the belief that the quality of educational facilities affects how well students learn, is to provide the latest information on trends, technologies, and strategies in the education facilities and business market to help our readers perform their jobs more effectively.
Since our first edition in 1928, AS&U has generated compelling content that examines the latest developments in education facilities and shines a light on the best practices that K-12 and higher education institutions can use to respond to the facility challenges they face.
Readers can interact with American School & University in a variety of ways:
American School & University magazine
The magazine is published seven times a year; each issue offers several articles that explore some of the many facility issues schools and universities must address, such as planning, financing, construction, renovation, maintenance, building envelope, energy management, furniture and fixtures, flooring, sustainability, and security.

Architectural Competitions
