American University Building Designs

Key US Educational Developments – Academic Higher Education Architecture Projects

post updated April 26, 2024

American University Buildings

We’ve selected what we feel are the key examples of American University Building Designs. We aim to include projects that are either of top quality or interesting, or ideally both.

We cover completed US university building designs, architectural exhibitions and architecture competitions across the United States of America. The focus is on contemporary American educational buildings but information on traditional buildings is also welcome.

We have 4 pages of American University Building Designs selections with links to many individual project pages.
