The safety of learners must never be left to chance.
In response to recurring dormitory fire tragedies and safety concerns in boarding schools, the Architectural Association of Kenya (AAK) is pleased to share the Proposal for Safe School Dormitories in Kenya by Dr. Tuesday Gichuki, Architect.
The proposal outlines practical recommendations on dormitory design, fire safety, emergency exits, occupancy limits, inspections, supervision, and emergency preparedness to help create safer learning environments for all learners.
We invite school boards, education stakeholders, built environment professionals, policymakers, and the public to review and support these recommendations.

Congratulations to Sabastian Sawe on an historic run, and to everyone taking part in the London Marathon today.
A huge effort from thousands of participants, volunteers and supporters from right across the country.
Couldn't catch him! 🔥 Congratulations to Sabastian Sawe on his fastest marathon (male) at 1:59:30. He also beats Eliud Kipchoge’s fastest marathon distance #londonmarathon@LondonMarathon
HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE 🫨
Sabastian Sawe becomes the first person ever to break the 2-hour barrier in official race conditions, storming to a historic 1:59:30‼️
@KejelchaYomif, on his marathon debut, also breaks 2 hours with a stunning 1:59:41 and @jacobkiplimo2 clocks 2:00:28, also faster than the previous world record 😤
A monumental step in finding the resources to build a modern national infrastructure to power our aspirations as a people...Kudos to the President and the team for this milestone👌
The establishment of the National Infrastructure Fund is the most consequential initiative in the development history of our nation.
The fund marks a new chapter in financing our transformation, making us the architects of our own future. It will close the infrastructure financing gap by raising over KSh5 trillion to fund key projects, including the production of 10,000 megawatts of clean energy, 50 mega dams, 200 micro-dams and more than 1,000 small dams, 2,500km of dual carriageways, and 28,000km of roads.
Additionally, we will have the necessary financing for extending the Standard Gauge Railway from Naivasha to Malaba and Kisumu and expanding Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, among many others.
The fund will help us structure our priorities, and package them into investable instruments. It will also de-risk our economy by providing a framework that attracts investors rather than merely encourage them to invest.
The Kenyan National Infrastructure Fund is not an experiment; it is a model that has succeeded in other jurisdictions. With it, our journey to attaining first-world economy status is within reach.
Glad that today, we have delivered a pledge we made to the people of Kenya in our manifesto.
Assented to the National Infrastructure Fund Bill, State House, Nairobi, in the presence of captains of industry from Kenya, Africa and the world.
At State House, Nairobi, launched the Affordable Housing Programme Internship Programme, opening career pathways for 5,500 young Kenyans into the building sector in over 40 professional roles, including engineering, architecture, planning, ICT, finance, environment, surveying, and construction.
You made very important points: That the elected representatives bear the vision of the city. They hold the pulse of the county and they oversight all workers in the city...If enyone fails, they hold the power to recall, suspend, or even sack. Why are we even here🫣?
Blame your elected leaders for Kilimani's high-rise development problem, planner tells Nairobians.

The coming into force of the GOE Act seems to have escaped many peoples attention. All the annexed SOEs have transitioned to LLCs

Today we join the global community in celebrating #WorldCitiesDay2025 under the theme “Innovative Development Towards People-Centered Smart Cities.”
At AAK, we believe that cities are more than just buildings and infrastructure they are living spaces built around people, creativity and connection.
As Kenya continues to grow and urbanize, it’s important to champion smart, inclusive and sustainable urban design where innovation meets community needs and every voice matters.
Let's re-imagine our cities together!
