Abstract

This article examines the critical role of inclusive design in vocational school architecture, focusing on its impact on orphaned children in Ikorodu Metropolis, Nigeria. As urbanization progresses, the need for educational environments that cater to diverse needs becomes increasingly important. Inclusive design principles aim to create spaces that are accessible and welcoming for all individuals, regardless of their physical abilities or socio-economic backgrounds. This study analyzes the theoretical foundations of inclusive design, highlights successful case studies globally, and discusses methodologies for implementing these principles in vocational school architecture. By addressing the unique challenges faced by orphaned children, this research provides actionable recommendations for architects and policymakers to foster inclusive educational environments that promote skill acquisition and emotional well-being. The findings underscore the importance of integrating inclusive design strategies into vocational school projects to enhance accessibility, support social equity, and ultimately improve educational outcomes for marginalized populations.
