The British International School of Timișoara (BIST) is a leading private school in Romania, recognized for its excellence in delivering a British-style education to students aged 4 to 18. Established in 2019, BIST has grown rapidly, attracting students from over 20 nationalities.
As an IB World School and a COBIS-accredited institution, it provides a student-centered educational system that nurtures curiosity, creativity, and self-confidence. With small class sizes, state-of-the-art facilities, and a modern teaching approach, BIST stands out as a premier choice for international education in the region.
BIST’s commitment to excellence extends to its facilities, which comprise a beautifully renovated historical building and a world-class high school building, providing its students with incredible environments to learn.
S+B UK collaborated with the school in two phases to create high-quality science laboratories that meet international standards. The first phase saw the transformation of an existing space into a vibrant and functional science lab.
Featuring the Saturn and Mercury student workstations with Corian worktops and moulded turrets, along with a fully equipped teacher’s demonstration desk, the new lab provides students with an engaging space that promotes collaboration.
The second phase of the project took place in the new high school building, a remarkable addition to BIST’s campus that has received international recognition, including the ICONIC Awards 2024, the BIG SEE Architecture Awards 2024, and the German Design Award 2025.
With an impressive interior designed by Morphoza, the building features a modern science lab with bespoke student benches incorporating integrated storage and utilities – a configuration that maximises space – a teacher’s desk, and a Mobiline fume cupboard for hands-on experiments.
