Transforming the AAU Campus into a Living LAB of the Future: Meaningful, Resilient, Intelligent, Healthy, Anti-Virus, And Human-Centered
A well-designed campus is an essential component of students' educational experiences, equal in importance to the students' academic courses and linked to the mission of higher education. Outdoor open spaces are essential for universities, as they are community-oriented places where students can meet, interact, and relax, resulting in academic and personal growth. Moreover, these spaces are critical for enhancing the university's quality of life. Therefore, it is vital to understand the relationship between open spaces and students' personal needs, particularly about factors that make outdoor spaces attractive and meaningful to university students. Therefore, in 2023, Al-Ahliyya Amman University (AAU) initiated an applied initiative to transform the outdoor courtyard spaces on the university campus into a sustainable living experience lab to enhance health, well-being, and meaningful perception for students.
