| The 2030 Sustainable Development Goals are a pressing worldwide collaboration call to action for all countries. In accordance, Egypt Vision 2030 aims to integrate sustainable development concepts and objectives into all state institutions. The United Nations in Egypt had declared that a number of multiple actions are ongoing through the process of enhancing the fourth sustainable development goal which is quality education by means of several factors. Among most of the important factors is improving higher education institutions' quality. Architecture of Universities can impact student experiences and learning outcomes by providing a significant learning environment, preparing students for the future, and embracing intelligent and efficient design strategies. Enhancing the performance of Universities’ buildings could possibly be a step forword to achieve the fourth sustainable development goal. The authors adopted data collection strategy to review the means of accomplishing the sustainable development goals focusing on the fourth development goal locally and globally, as well as assessing the factors of optimizing the performance of Universities’ buildings in order to promote quality education. The authors then adopted case studies analysis globally represented in University of Orgeon, United States, and locally represented in the American University in Egypt to analyze the strategies used by the case studies in order to enhance its quality. The authors concluded a set of guidelines in order to optimize the performance of Universities’ buildings in Egypt in a trial to enhance achieving the 2030 fourth sustainable development goal.
