school construction

Erecting educational facilities

School construction is the building of educational facilities—elementary schools, high schools, universities.

The term appears in policy discussions about infrastructure funding, zoning, and community development: The bond measure allocates $50 million for school construction.

It encompasses new buildings and major additions, distinct from routine maintenance or renovation.
