Modern educational institutions of Ukraine need improvement and adaptation to the current realities of life. The article highlights directions for improving architectural and planning solutions of Ukrainian schools, taking into account modern requirements for security measures and features of educational development. The problems related to the adaptation of inclusive children and the creation of a barrier-free, modern and safe educational environment within educational institutions were analyzed. The analysis of regulatory documentation was carried out and a list of recommendations for improving existing conditions was highlighted using the example of Lviv schools. Most of the general educational institutions of Ukraine were built in the second half of the 20th century. Normative design requirements change every decade under the influence of certain events. Most of the innovations have taken place in the last few years. The long months of the pandemic and the war made significant adjustments to the requirements for school buildings, taking into account their functional purpose. Over the past few years, our society has suffered considerable losses due to the aggressive military intervention of a neighboring state on our peaceful towns and villages. Air attacks and destruction of Ukrainian settlements continue. Since Ukrainian schools have recently embarked on the path of inclusiveness, there are still no clearly defined standards and protocols aimed at improving the school environment. The list of equipment, specialized or additional premises, and layout features in educational institutions is being supplemented and improved at this stage. There is an urgent need to study the planning of the buildings of educational institutions in order to identify areas of reconstruction to create optimally safe and comfortable conditions. The composition of school buildings is based on two factors: the staggered organization of the student body and the grouping of rooms according to their functional purpose. The solution of convenient communications between all functional areas of the educational institution, and the provision of the necessary premises for the comfortable stay of students with various needs is an important task during the design and modernization of schools. Ukrainian schools are already on the way to improving and rethinking school spaces. Limited information about the needs of different learners, the nature of existing infrastructure and opportunities complicates the entire process. Adaptation of schools to the needs of the disabled and their learning in a group requires a rethinking of the generally accepted planning of educational institutions, the implementation of flexible planning for optimal use of space, the creation of a barrier-free environment not only for children, but also for parents with special needs.
