Prefabrication is an innovative construction method for mass-produced and low-cost buildings in response to an urgent demand for educational facilities in challenging times, such as natural disasters or wars. This study assesses the spatial quality of prefabricated schools constructed in Duhok, the north of Iraq, and considers the needs of refugee children relocating from damaged areas. The study compares the spatial quality (spatial transparency, spatial connectivity, and spatial flexibility) of 10 prefabricated schools to traditional design and construction. The methodology used is collecting indicators related to the spatial quality of the school as standards, followed by selecting available indicators in the case study and analyzing cases using space syntax theory and DepthmapX (version 0.8.0) software. The results showed that prefabricated schools have higher spatial integration, connectivity, and flexibility than the traditional way of construction. The study concluded that the spatial pattern of spaces that are used in prefabricated schools applies more to the requirements of modern school spatial quality than the traditional way of spatial patterning.
