NEUROARCHITECTURE: Health, Happiness & Learning

by Parul Minhas, Prakash Nair, Louis Sirota

Neuroarchitecture is the study of the impact of the built environment on the brain and how it affects our cognitive, emotional and physical well-being. There is a rising need to consider neuroarchitecture while designing schools. Learning spaces that properly apply the principles of neuroarchitecture will positively impact students’ academic performance, emotional well-being, and physical health. Neuroarchitecture is about designing schools that are inclusive, stimulating, and supportive of learning in ways that promote a sense of purpose, belonging, and well-being, leading to a more positive and productive educational experience for students.

This white paper provides compelling research-backed evidence regarding the many health and learning benefits of Neuroarchitecture and includes specific strategies for incorporating it into the design of schools.
