Abstract |
According to the results from the evaluation, that was enforced by the Academic Affairs of Y University in the year 2002, the satisfaction level of interiors of classrooms appeared to be very low. Only 11.6%of the respondents said that they felt comfortable in classroom environment. The other 54.8% said that they were unsatisfied with the physical quality of classrooms at school. In addition, students demanded a change in such items as lighting, air circulation, room temperature, worn out chairs and desks, and the size of the classrooms. It is surprising to see that classrooms that have been built during the evolution of technology have created such a discomfort to students. Therefore, creating a comfortable environment for all classrooms throughout the campus by applying a systematic approach that would meet students' needs is the purpose of research. The results show that the project of remodeling has improved the quality of classrooms and increased the level of satisfaction on the overall classroom environment. |
