Resilient Schools Amid Epidemics: Multifunctional Design Strategies

This research aims to propose an epidemic-resilient school design through multifunctional space technique, as a promising solution that allows to guarantee social distancing, manages the circulation of students within classrooms, optimizes spaces and prevents significant disadvantages in terms of effectiveness, inclusion and flexibility.Furthermore; it allows to create more flexible, safe and efficient school environments, even in normal situations.The crucial role of a multifunctional space and its relevance in epidemic situations and normal conditions is highlighted and compared with alternative options such as movable or collapsible partitions.Multifunctional space has been shown to be advantageous in emergency management, allowing active reorganization of space without requiring outside intervention.The design of multipurpose spaces emerges as an effective and sustainable strategy to ensure safety and continuity in education.Investment in proactive design solutions proves crucial to foster continuous learning that is safe and adaptable to the changing needs of the educational environment.
