Abstract

Wellbeing and mental health are important pillars of sustainability, as recognised by the WELL Building Standards. With higher education facing a mental health crisis, which has been exacerbated by the pandemic, all potential solutions must be investigated. Applying WELL to educational spaces could help to improve student and staff wellbeing. However, the constant change in occupancy of teaching spaces within higher education alters how design factors influence wellbeing outcomes as compared to standard office or domestic occupancy. This study collects student and staff responses on their experience of wellbeing in educational spaces, together with indoor environment quality data for validation. It found that whilst the perception of the quality of spaces did not necessarily align with the measured quality, it was the perceived quality that impacted wellbeing. Practical application Design for wellbeing is a growing market and a costly investment, it is important therefore that this investment is having the impact anticipated. This research demonstrates the importance of designing a space taking into account user perception rather than focusing solely on space performance, and perceived space quality impacts on occupant wellbeing.
教育空间中的幸福感
正如WELL建筑标准所承认的那样,幸福和心理健康是可持续发展的重要支柱。随着高等教育面临心理健康危机,疫情加剧了这一危机,必须调查所有潜在的解决方案。将WELL应用于教育空间有助于改善学生和教职员工的福祉。然而,与标准办公室或家庭占用率相比,高等教育中教学空间占用率的不断变化改变了设计因素对幸福感结果的影响。这项研究收集了学生和教职员工对他们在教育空间中的幸福体验的反应,以及室内环境质量数据以供验证。研究发现,虽然对空间质量的感知不一定与测量的质量一致,但影响幸福感的是感知的质量。实际应用健康设计是一个不断增长的市场,也是一项昂贵的投资,因此,这项投资具有预期的影响是很重要的。这项研究证明了设计空间时考虑用户感知而非仅关注空间性能的重要性,以及感知的空间质量对居住者健康的影响。
