Course Summary

In this course, we explore how the built environment shapes the way the brain thinks, feels, and performs at work. We’ll examine why many modern offices increase stress and mental fatigue, introduce the principles of neurodesign, and uncover how sound, light, and spatial hierarchy directly affect cognitive function. Blending neuroscience, workplace research, and real-world examples, this CEU gives designers practical tools to create brain-friendly spaces that support focus, calm, and neurodiversity.
