Architecture influences human behavior: To enhance student social development in a living environment El Paso, Texas
Résumé
Architecture influences human behavior to enhance
student learning and personal development in a living
environment.
To meet the demands of increasingly large and
diverse student populations, many institutions have
created highly specialized programs and units, which, over
time, have t)ecome fragmented and compartmentalized
(Schroeder 1994, xv). In response to these and other
challenges, many universities and colleges must try to
reaffirm their primary mission of promoting student
learning and personal development. As part of this effort
institutions should recognize that a significant amount of
learning takes place beyond the classroom. Residence
halls are an ideal setting for promoting student learning
and development.
The facilities' site will be on the campus of the
University of Texas at El Paso. The facility placed on the
site will be a student residence hall. The residence hall
will house 250 students attending the university. The
facility will enhance a student's learning and personal
development.
