Identifying two or three design elements that should be considered and make
recommendations about how the rooms should be arranged

Introduction
With the growth of student population every year going to university, it is becoming
very essential for them to build new student accommodations to facilitate them in
order for them to sustain the rise of students
...

The main elements that is report is going to be focusing on is the colour of the room,
the layout of the room in terms of the size and how the room should be arranged and
the ergonomics in the room
...


Background
According to previous research that has been done by the Florida state university
...
With so many young people living in such facilities, it is certainly worth
investigating how they affect their denizens from a psychological perspective
...
”(Florida State University)
...
The
purpose of this report is to help people who are building the student
accommodations to design it appropriately based on students’ perspective to make
them have a comfortable stay
...


Discussion of design elements
3
...
It has been said that often neutral colours lower the mood of
people where as some strong bright colours like red affect the performance on
educational tasks
...
This is a

priority that has to be taken into consideration and as the rooms are being build it
has to be best suited for the student to focus on there education when studying in
their rooms
...
Therefore, they need to be in
very comfortable condition and the colour always enlightens every person individual
mood and their aim is to mostly focus on there studies because it is a priority for
them since they came from such a long way to study in another country
...
It has been proved that the best colour suited for students in their room is blue
and this is because research has shown that blue environments can enhance study
performance (Stone 2007, citied in wright,2010 p210-p211)
...

...
Ergonomics is really
important because it has recently been one of the most important factors that have
been taken into consideration when coming to design to a room
...
The height and length have to be measured accurately in order to prevent any
long term damages to the body such as back pain because of sitting body posture
could affect the back at later stage of age
...
Furthermore, this study was taken forward and they realised that this needs to
be applied and there should be ways that make it easier for the people to adopt to
the way they sit and view the computers to reduce the risk of them having back
problems in the future
...
3 Design for improved psychological states
Most people would agree the size and the layout of the room would have an impact
on their psychological state and can have an impact of making them have really

emotional state
...
50 persons per room is
considered to be overcrowded
...
00 person per room as the cut-off point” (Canter, 113 Florida State University)
...
The effects further could mean the particular could feel unease and could be
affected mentally due to the physical environment that is surrounding them
...
They eventually would start feeling
like they have been put in prison because this the only place where you would find
so many people crowded at once and this could again affect their mental stability
and psychologically
...
Therefore,
I think that all the discussion of design elements should be taken into considerations
such as Ergonomics, Design for improved psychological states and Colour
...


Recommendation
Future trials should assess the impact of on how the changes should affect the
students in the future who come and stay in this accommodations
...
They should mostly use blue because it is
having being proved to be the best colour it helps the student focus when studying
and also enlightens their mood
...
They should look at the
ergonomics because it is affects the student’s health later own in age due to back
problems and when they are using the computer when they are doing there work so

therefore their student table should be build in a way where it could fit there height
and it doesn’t affect there back and also they should give a chair that helps there
body posture be well maintain so they don’t have this problems in the future
