University building designs

e-architect selected what we feel are the key examples of University Building Developments. We aim to include Tertiary Education buildings that are either of top quality or interesting, or ideally both.

We cover completed university building developments, new building designs, architectural exhibitions and design competitions across the world. The focus is on contemporary Tertiary Education buildings but information on key traditional buildings is also welcome.
