According to Ken Helmer of Howard and Helmer Architects, the lifespan of a school is highly dependent on upkeep and ongoing maintenance of the facility. However, structurally, most schools are designed to last approximately 50-70 years. Most schools become obsolete because of functional problems with technology, programming, curriculum issues, and the like.
