Each floor is articulated differently with horizontal belt courses separating only the first level from the second in earlier examples and, in later examples, every level. Window trim or surrounds vary from floor to floor, often with arched windows on the lowest level. Walls are capped with stone cornices and, sometimes, rooftop balustrades. A variation adapted to smaller educational structures three stories or less in height is called Academic Renaissance. Schools in this style may have a recessed central portion between symmetrical projecting wings, all of the same height, or a projecting central entrance on an otherwise flat facade.
Details are more significant around the main entrance in either case.
