This article focuses on the connection between classroom design and learning outcomes. It discusses how different spatial arrangements, sounds, lights, and furniture affect engagement, motivation, and attention. Good classroom design supports various classroom activities, encouraging group work and individual tasks. The flexible layouts encourage Interaction and engagement while sound management minimizes interruptions that support focus. On top of that, the use of general and task-oriented lighting enhances mood and alertness, thereby increasing grades. Also, comfortable furniture helps in achieving attention, hence improving learning. Thus, this holistic perspective indicates that purposeful space designs are important in enhancing students’ academic performance and well-being.
