Meet ArchitecturePLB at Education Estates 2026
On 20 and 21 October, Nick Mirchandani, Director, and Jo DeSyllas, Associate Director, will be at Education Estates 2026 at Manchester Central.
Run in partnership with the Department for Education, the event brings together the schools, trusts, local authorities and design teams responsible for school, college and university buildings across the UK.
This year’s programme is shaped by the government’s Education Estates Strategy, a ten year plan built on three pillars: managing, renewing and rebuilding the education estate. SEND and inclusion, and sustainability, also have stages of their own.
School design is one of ArchitecturePLB’s strengths, and these are questions our school clients bring to us regularly. From giving older buildings a longer life to providing for SEND and inclusion, we are looking forward to hearing what schools and trusts need from their estates, and sharing what our own projects have taught us.
If you are attending, we’d love to connect. Drop Nick or Jo a line:
