This publication supersedes the previous 1996 edition of Building Bulletin 81, and has been revised to take account of current education policies, including issues around ICT and inclusion.

Chapters review key planning principles and accommodation requirements involved, as well as giving more detailed guidance on subjects like planning individual timetabled and non-timetabled learning spaces and non-teaching support and storage spaces.

The publication also covers furniture, surface finishes and fittings to create a successful learning environment, and machines, servicing and equipment.
