In recent years, the Korean Ministry of Education has broadened the scope of its policy initiatives, as they have come to have a particular emphasis on refurbishing school spaces to align with the evolving curriculum. Despite these space enhancement efforts, the rising number of school closures caused by demographic shifts has made it necessary to explore alternative uses. Given the changes in demographic and social fabric, transforming small schools into “integrated residential complexes” that are focused on education appears to be a particularly reasonable solution. This approach both caters to the need for lifelong learning and addresses the housing scarcity faced by vulnerable communities. Therefore, the current study aims to present a feasible direction for repurposing closed school sites in response to Korea’s social transformations. Conducting preliminary surveys and case studies concerning the repurposing of school facilities and sites was foundational to this study. In this process, I initially focused on school sites in Korea that have been converted into buildings sites with non-educational purposes. In my subsequent analysis, I considered a variety of international examples. Altogether, this paper aims to articulate a forward-looking plan that can be used in repurposing school sites in Korea. The findings obtained herein suggest that the first priority should be integration with local communities, the second priority should be utilizing sites for public housing development, the third priority should be establishing cultural and educational centers, and the fourth and last priority should be advancing eco-friendly and sustainable initiatives.
