Amid growing demand for environmentally responsible and inclusive infrastructure in developing countries, this research explores the challenges and opportunities associated with adopting Hydraform brick technology for the construction of special needs schools in Osogbo, Nigeria. Hydraform bricks, known for their thermal efficiency, sustainability, and cost-saving potential, present a viable alternative to traditional building materials. Despite these advantages, widespread implementation remains limited due to barriers such as material scarcity, high initial costs, labour skill gaps, and inadequate policy support. A descriptive survey method was employed to gather data from 137 built environment professionals, including architects, engineers, and builders. The results show generally positive perceptions of Hydraform bricks, especially in relation to Osogbo’s climate and the material’s long-term economic and environmental benefits. However, professionals also identified critical limitations affecting scalability and practical use. The study recommends targeted interventions, including localized production facilities, skill development initiatives, public awareness campaigns, and supportive regulatory frameworks. These strategies are essential to unlocking the full potential of Hydraform technology in achieving sustainable, inclusive educational infrastructure in Nigeria
