The Room of Requirement is a very useful secret feature of Hogwarts, but how did it get there in the first place?
Was it included (created or requested) by the Four Founders when they had the place built? If so, why isn't it better known, like any other special room in Hogwarts such as the library or the infirmary? Was it a secret the Founders wished to keep to themselves and perhaps some of their chosen acolytes?
Or was it made later on, by some great Headmaster or perhaps even some particularly gifted and enterprising students? This seems more likely given the apparently very small number of people aware of its existence in the present day, but would it really be feasible to create a whole new room in a pre-existing castle?
Who created the Room of Requirement, how, and when?
Answer
I don't think we will ever know the answer to this question. It is never mentioned anywhere in canon how the room came to be. Perhaps it was the original 4 founders, maybe it was one of them, or maybe some headmaster who came after. We will never know unless someone in a future writing enters the room of requirement with "I need to know who created the room of requirement"
