To aid in the swift construction of schools 20 prototype "standard plans" were designed by American architect William E. Parsons. [3] Building shapes were either straight, L-shaped or U-shaped with courtyards in front or in the middle. The school buildings were executed in three styles:
The Elmer R. Webster School is a symmetrical U-shaped building with the main building located in the front, and two wings surrounding an exterior courtyard extending to the rear. The building is constructed of tan-orange brick, and is primarily a single story, save for a small second floor area at the front of the building.

The Wilkinson Building is an amalgam of two building phases, the first a modest T-shaped building opened in 1959 and major additions completed in 1975.

Octagonal buildings and structures are characterized by an octagonal plan form, whether a perfect geometric octagon or a regular eight-sided polygon with approximately equal sides. Octagon-shaped buildings date from at least 300 B.C. when the Tower of the Winds in Athens, Greece, was constructed.
The building, Nassau Hall, was considered to be one of the most imposing and largest in colonial America, [11] [12] and was widely reproduced by other schools in later years – such is the case with University Hall at Brown, for example. [13] Yale's early plans were equally influential.
The school was operated by AISD for thirty-four school years, from 1933 through 1967. [4] From 1956 to 1957 the facility also served as a temporary home to Allan Junior High School, whose campus had been badly damaged by a fire in March 1956; both schools operated in the same building, with UJH holding shortened classes in the mornings and Allan meeting in the afternoons.
