The DQI for Schools is a process for evaluating the design quality of school buildings from the inception of the project through the design stages and once the building is complete. It can be used by everyone involved the development process to contribute to improving the quality of our schools.

As well as the version for schools there is generic version of the DQI which can be used on all building types.

You should read the overview of the process  to find out more about how to apply the DQI for Schools to your project.

If you have been asked to complete an assessment of a building or design with the DQI for Schools you should go to the DQI for Schools tool.
