Welcome to the School of Specification, an e-learning platform from Architecture Today providing access to over 200 structured, self-paced lessons covering The Building Safety Act, fire safety, legal responsibilities, low carbon specification and much more.

School of Specification (SoS)  seeks to explain the technical and philosophical approaches to specification in an accessible and engaging way.

SOS offers a rolling programme of learning modules focussing on a particular aspect of specification, ranging from contracts and insurance to building materials and technologies. We  publish a new module every month.

We are constantly researching and commissioning material from consultants, practitioners, manufacturers, experts and technical specialists from across the construction industry. And, perhaps most importantly, environmental concerns and sustainability are at the centre of everything we do.

In a rapidly changing world, we provide you access to the latest knowledge and expertise to help you deliver for your clients.
