Hear it in context
Notice where the phrase sounds natural.
The school building was renovated last year to make it safer for students.
In my hometown, the school building is quite old, but it has a lot of character and history.
Fix the pattern
One small grammar move makes it sound right.
Not: I go to school building every day.
Say: I go to the school building every day. / I go to school every day.
'Go to school' (general) needs no article; 'the school building' (the structure) needs 'the'.
Which sounds natural?
Tap the one a native speaker would say.
'School building' is plain; 'educational establishment's edifice' is absurd.
