Abstract

Research on factors related to the design of educational spaces has grown in recent years, yet still maintaining traditionalist principles in classroom management. Investing in an element that is common to all students, such as design factors of educational space can mean large-scale cultural development. As a result, given the economical cost, the retention time of educational buildings, and the situation of need for rehabilitation or conservation of many of those, it is necessary to test the possible impact of the space design as a matter of improving education. After a first approximation, it is concluded that the factors of space design that affect the process of teaching and learning are lighting, acoustics, and thermal level, among others.
