Evaluating the Influence of Sustainable Design within the School Community: A Comprehensive Analysis

Abstract

This research examines the sustainability needs of Hamad Town Secondary Girls' School, offering a comprehensive analysis of economic, environmental, acoustic, and social aspects within Bahrain's educational built environments. Using qualitative methods like literature, observations, interviews, and an online survey, the study identifies critical deficiencies, including maintenance issues, environmental challenges, and inadequate facilities for students with disabilities. Proposed improvements target resilient maintenance, enhanced cooling, and inclusive infrastructure. Key findings emphasize the urgency of sustainable interventions in the school environment, aligning with broader educational quality goals and sustainability vision of Kingdom of Bahrain.
