school buildings

Where classrooms are housed

School buildings are the physical structures where educational instruction takes place—classrooms, gymnasiums, cafeterias, and administrative offices.

The term typically refers to primary and secondary schools rather than universities.

School buildings often serve as community landmarks and gathering places beyond their educational function: The old school building was converted into apartments.
