This study aims to investigate the current trends in educational facility design both in Russia and abroad. It highlights the existing government programs intended to standardize and regulate the architectural design of educational establishments. The authors identify the specifics of large educational buildings’ functional structure and discuss a tendency towards merging several levels of education into major functional units. Examples of schooling facilities in some foreign countries reaffirm the relevance of multifunctional educational complexes. Different building units are grouped into clusters using communicative public spaces. Conclusions have been drawn as to the importance of larger educational facilities integration into various urban environments. The study systematizes functional units that keep changing during the building’s life cycle and explains the framework behind the functional replacement model. It appears expedient to use this model when designing educational facilities of different capacities.
