Warta Warisan: the role of student-facility in fostering student mental health and well-being / Izz Daniesha Hairul Izwan ... [et al.]

Depression among university students is a significant concern, as evidenced by multiple studies. Research indicates that university students are particularly vulnerable to depression due to various factors, including academic pressure and social challenges. Warta Warisan is an all-encompassing idea for student life that goes beyond a student’s facility. This design exceeds traditional student centres by placing a higher importance on community engagement, sustainability, and well-being to improve the overall quality of campus life. The synergy between the natural environment and the flexible design of the edu-hub fosters an ambience that facilitates cognitive and intellectual growth. The initiative is attractive to both investors and institutions because of its potential for scalability and economic viability. While the foundation of this concept is robust, conducting additional research on aspects such as long-term sustainability, user satisfaction, and technological integration has the potential to optimise the performance of Warta Warisan. With exposure to natural environments, Warta Warisan can play a significant role in alleviating depression among university students through mechanisms such as physical activity, cognitive restoration, and sensory engagement. This design intention underscores the importance of integrating green spaces within students’ facilities to support their mental health within the university campus.
