Designs wanted for future schools


Story Tools

LONDON, England -- British schoolchildren could one day be studying in classrooms designed by leading architects.

The British government has asked architects and construction companies to come up with six designs of what 21st century schools should look like.

More than 300 expressions of interest had been received by the Department for Education and Skills, officials told the UK's Press Association.

Officials refused to name any contributors but PA reported that internationally-renowned British architects such as Dome designer Richard Rogers and Millennium Bridge creator Norman Foster were included.

The winning designs will be made available to headteachers, parents and local education authorities to adapt according to their needs, said schools standards minister David Miliband.
