Drawing on 15 years’ experience in Rwanda and Uganda, the Feilden Foundation has created a School Design Guide for East African countries alongside Enabel – the Belgian Agency for International Cooperation, Localworks Uganda, Buro Happold and Grant Associates.
Developed primarily for Uganda and Rwanda, the guide presents a series of recommendations for school design, covering everything from masterplanning principles and area schedule requirements to low-carbon construction methods, building services, sanitation, furniture layouts, and landscape design.
The event will feature a series of short presentations, beginning with introductions from Feilden Foundation Trustee and co-author Peter Clegg and a representative from Enabel.
This will be followed by an overview of the book’s subject area by co-author Meg Collin, a case study presentation by Juliana Achi from Localworks, and contributions from Buro Happold and Grant Associates.
The session will conclude with a panel discussion and Q&A, offering all attendees the opportunity to share their insights and perspectives.
There are a limited number of in-person places available, and the event will also be live streamed.
