Abstract

The benefits of how educational architecture can leverage outdoor spaces and natural light to enhance learning, and promote sustainable learning is important to study for the future of the education system and how we can enhance our children’s future. Research will explore existing studies, analyze quality and subpar current projects, and explore additional sustainable factors that can help the educational environment. This research introduces a better understanding of how vital getting students in daylit and outdoor access environments is to shape the future of education and sustainable design.
