Abstract	Rehabilitation methodologies for established educational institution buildings, especially those ex-ceeding 18 years of service, focus on restoring and extending structural integrity through advanced re-pair techniques. Over time, buildings in educational settings endure material degradation, structural distress, and evolving safety standards, necessitating comprehensive rehabilitation strategies. Com-mon rehabilitation approaches include surface repairs to address superficial damage, such as cracks and spalling, and injection methods that fill deeper cracks and voids using epoxy or cement grouts to regain monolithic behavior and load capacity. Strengthening techniques like Fiber-Reinforced Poly-mers (FRP) and steel plate bonding are utilized to enhance the flexural and shear capacities of rein-forced concrete elements, while external post-tensioning can counteract internal stresses and increase overall performance. Electrochemical interventions such as cathodic protection prevent corrosion of embedded reinforcement, vital for buildings susceptible to environmental exposure. For educational buildings, rehabilitation prioritizes safety, durability, and cost efficiency. Non-destructive testing (NDT) and laser scanning are increasingly adopted for precise damage assessment and effective moni-toring. The integration of new materials, like self-healing concrete and nano-modified composites, represents innovative directions for repair and maintenance. Selection of techniques depends on the extent of deterioration, environmental conditions found in institutional campuses, and resource availa-bility. Ongoing research emphasizes sustainability, aiming to reduce long-term maintenance costs and environmental footprint. These holistic methodologies ensure that aging educational buildings remain safe, functional, and capable of supporting academic activities well beyond their original design life.
