The Importance of School Facilities in Improving Student Performance

With school construction planning around the corner, a big area of focus for school administrators will be on the design of their classrooms. Studies have found that noisy, artificially lit, hot and poorly ventilated classrooms can lead to poor test results. A relevant article published in 1843 Magazine examines these findings and discusses how architects from across the globe are utilizing school design to foster new ways of learning.

The classroom continues to transform as the needs of students and teachers evolve over the years. Several architects have made efforts to make school buildings more than just functional buildings. Primarily by upgrading the design of these facilities with comfortable and innovative features that fit the needs of the entire campus. Some of these enhancements include adding large windows, wider hallways, activity corners, and adaptable communal spaces. Other architects have made special efforts to accommodate children with learning or physical disabilities.

Most schools, due to tight budgets, are unable to afford major renovations or build a new school building. One easy way to improve the school environment for students can be found in the restroom. The restroom is a cost center and a place that can negatively impact student performance. Dirty restrooms lower students’ overall opinion of school management and also creates opportunity to spread germs, leading to greater absenteeism rates.
