“…In this paper, the authors found that the flexible design of dormitories is a crucial parameter for the pandemic resistance of dormitories to be built in the coming years. In recent studies, Amistadi et al ( 2022 ) also provided similar recommendations and guidelines as this study for a resilient urban college campus in the Covid-19 and post-Covid-19 era. Similar to this study, another study was also conducted in college dormitories in Poland under pandemic conditions.…”

“…Similar to this study, another study was also conducted in college dormitories in Poland under pandemic conditions. According to Amistadi et al ( 2022 ), the pandemic resiliency is important in planning college buildings to be built in the future. Flexibility is an alternative for planning under pandemic conditions and in terms of flexible use proposals.…”

The Covid-19 pandemic affected the education system, causing distance learning in most parts of the world. Thanks to the rapid vaccination, face-to-face instruction started again, university students returned to colleges, and dormitories were again used. To respond to the changing living conditions and ensure a healthy indoor environment, strategies for pandemic-resistant and flexible design of dormitories have been discussed, which is the focus of this article. To achieve this goal, state dormitories in Turkey, their current condition, and functional/ technical solutions were studied in detail using a four-stage methodology developed with this study, and their adaptation potential for new flexible and pandemic-resistant designs in the post-pandemic world was discussed. The research results showed that the case dormitory is unlikely to adapt to pandemic conditions in terms of pandemic resilience, flexibility, and Turkey Covid-19 Guidelines and that the methodology has the potential to be applicable to the evaluation of similar buildings.

“…To cope with the existing problems in dormitories, especially under the influence of the epidemic, some colleges and universities have evaluated the factors of the space environment on the physical and mental environment and proposed improvement strategies [2]. Amistadi et al argued for turning academic facilities with low usage rates into temporary spaces, such as changing skating rinks to vaccination, for flexible university campus design considering the impacts of COVID-19 [3].…”

Changes in the prevention and control situation in the post-epidemic era have spawned a more complex campus living environment, and new space requirements have gradually formed considering interpersonal relationships and distance. The campus is a space worthy of attention and transformation as it is a densely populated space. Taking Bingwen Academy of Southeast University in China as an example, this paper describes a specific space transformation project, evaluates its main advantages and problems, and proposes some suggestions with an analytic hierarchy process. There are five assessment criteria in the space transformation: functional layout, design and materials, horticultural planting, furnishings and detail decoration, and intelligent security and management. Results show that the reformed space is a multi-functional and "living-study" physical environment. It has different usage scenarios with flexible and changeable spatial layouts and provides various activities for teachers and students with the concept of living and learning integration, co-construction, and sharing. It also promotes traditional culture and history spread through furnishings and details and educates people about morality. The reformed Bingwen Academy still has problems, such as inconvenient furniture moving, limited opening hours for all spaces, and lack of activity displacement. It is proposed to add modular furniture with rollers, manage different spaces by time, and add an achievement exhibition wall. This project provides a reference value for the space transformation of other college dormitories during and after the epidemic.

This study aimed to address the evolving needs of student dormitories during and after the COVID-19 pandemic by employing flexible strategies to optimize the use of these buildings during respiratory disease outbreaks. Initially, the relationship between architecture and respiratory infections was examined using the descriptive-analytical method and library research, and the operational spaces impact on airborne transmissions was identified. Subsequently, a conceptual model for flexible design was developed. A questionnaire was then distributed amongst architecture experts, and the results were compared through the Friedman test and Shannon’s entropy to prioritize flexible design strategies for dormitories during quarantine. Amongst these strategies, ‘segregation of space’ had the highest impact on the operational spaces of dormitories. Generally, the priorities of employing flexible strategies on dormitory spaces are as follows: ‘privatizing wet spaces’, ‘converting communal rooms into suites’, ‘splitting suites’, ‘creating screening spaces’, and ‘designing hierarchical access’. Next, a case study was conducted on the current dormitory of the Iran University of Science and Technology, and a proposed dormitory was presented based on the prioritized strategies. Finally, the current and the suggested dormitory were compared with space syntax criteria, including connectivity, depth and integration, and the pandemic responsiveness of the new plan was evaluated.
