The Standard Specifications, Layouts and Dimensions (SSLD) for School Buildings booklets were developed specifically for BSF by the DfE and PfS.
The series sets out the standards for a range of elements in schools and shows how these standards might be delivered through design examples. The aim is to disseminate best practice and avoid 'reinventing the wheel' every time a school building is designed, so that consistently high quality environments can be delivered, offering best whole-life value for money.
School building clients, their professional advisers, contractors and their supply chains should use the guidance to inform their decisions at the early stages of a project's development - whether new build, extension or refurbishment.
