Classroom design: a foundation for growth

Abstract

The design of learning environments significantly impacts the development of primary school children. This work explores how natural light, colour, zoning, ergonomics, and natural materials influence students’ academic, social, emotional, and physical skills. Research suggests that well-designed spaces can positively affect students’ performance, well-being, and behaviour. Educators can support children’s holistic development by creating spaces conducive to learning, well-being, and social interaction.
