Educational Institution

Building Types and Traditions as Concepts

An educational institution is a place where people of different ages gain an education, including preschools, childcare, primary and elementary schools, secondary and high schools, and universities. The cited article says such institutions provide a large variety of learning environments and learning spaces. In the atlas it names the building type of schools, colleges and universities, the buildings designed to house teaching and learning, as distinct from the residential, worship, commercial and civic building types recorded alongside it. Buildings recorded in the atlas as educational buildings and colleges are grouped under this concept.
