Abstract
<jats:p>School infrastructure innovation is the key to building resilient, inclusive, and equitable learning environments in climate change, demographic, and long-term global inequalities. This chapter discusses the principles of sustainable design, including energy efficiency, climate-adaptive buildings, universal design, use of renewable energy, and the integration of climate-adaptive architecture and smart education technologies, and how these solutions can be used to transform old school buildings into safer, greener, and more accessible spaces for every learner. The chapter relies on global frameworks such as SDG 4 and the Comprehensive School Safety Framework to examine critical issues, including the aging of buildings, disaster risk, physical disparities, digital disparities, and structural underinvestment. It presents evidence-based initiatives, winning case studies, and other innovative methods of financing to ensure modern and resilient infrastructure is feasible, and what research should prioritize in the future with respect to the long-term educational effects.</jats:p>
