There are many factors that go into designing successful schools. There is probably no single factor more important than considering the primary occupants of the buildings: students. Student Spaces explores K- 12 schools from all over the world that incorporate areas that students find both beneficial and enjoyable.

Probably the most common response I have received from those that have seen a draft of this e-book is ÒWhy didnÕt I get to go to a school like that?Ó I trust this e-book will help elevate the quality of school design around the world and in the future more people will say, ÒOh, I went to a school like that!Ó Joel K.
