Abstract:

This study aims to improve the learning environment of a university viewing room by rehabilitating and refurbishing its ceiling, highlighting the critical role of infrastructure in education. The project is driven by the recognition that a well-maintained ceiling is essential for students' physiological well-being, eyesight health, safety, and comfort. Research indicates that poor air circulation in congested spaces with low ceilings can exacerbate the spread of airborne diseases, while inadequate ceiling illumination can harm visual health. Furthermore, exposed electric wires and an aesthetically unpleasing environment can distract students, negatively impacting their focus and learning outcomes. Upon approval, the project will proceed with planning, designing, and estimating, followed by the procurement of construction materials based on competitive bidding. All supplies will undergo thorough quality inspections. By addressing the structural inadequacies of the viewing room ceiling, this study aims to foster a safer and more conducive learning atmosphere, ultimately enhancing literacy outcomes and nurturing students' overall well-being. The findings of this project will underscore the significant impact of proper infrastructure on educational experiences, offering insights to the administration on the importance of maintaining high standards in school facilities.
