This paper is a study on Work-unit types of advanced schools in Sweden. The results of this study are as follows.1) A Work-unit is composed of 11 kinds of rooms and 2 kinds of partitions, clearly separated from the whole of a school building by the partition such as doors. For considering that there is only a few furniture in common spaces, a Work-unit can be located as the most important space for learning.2) A lot of cases have “architectural outside spaces” related to units and entrances. This means a new external space in the site filled with natural environment. In the other words, a school building is located as an element that invents an external space with the feature.3)“Architectural outside spaces” are planned with many “attractors”, for example, benches, equipments, and play ground.4) Common spaces are very important for higher grade students than lower. On the other side, outside environment is useful and important for lower grade students.
