Curvatura 3-D Ceiling System Success Story, Intriguing school design has arrived. Today’s schools feature bright interiors, curved hallways and a greater use of specialty, 3-D ceilings. Consider the recently opened Hamilton High School in Hamilton, Mich., a 200,000-square-foot facility built on a radius and designed by GMB Architects-Engineers, Holland, Mich.

Walls Withstand Kids' Wonder Years, The time, labor, and expense of masonry construction can add up to a weighty load. That’s why many architects of public and private schools are switching to abuse-resistant wall panels. These panels give the necessary abuse resistance required for institutional applications, while cutting construction costs and providing design versatility. Two newly built schools—one in Mississippi, the other in Maryland—show how abuse-resistant panels can be more practical than masonry.
