Abstract (300 words maximum)
"The Impact of Sustainable Design on Students' Mental Health"
This research project aims to study the correlation between mental health, academic performance, and sustainable design in the Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science, and Technology (GSMST) in Lawrenceville, Gwinnett County. GSMST is the highest-achieving high school in Georgia, ranked 19th nationally in 2023 and declared as The National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence in 2016. The school prioritizes high academic achievement and brings out the potential of all students that attend with their boasted 100% graduation rate for the 2021 - 2022 academic school year. This public school is precisely designed to enhance the abilities of students by including spatial features of universities such as collaborative learning environments, focused study areas, and lecture halls. Despite the high-quality sustainable spaces, according to GADOE (Georgia Department of Education), in the 2023 Georgia Student Health Survey while the performances are high, there's a lack of correlation between sustainable schools and student's mental health.
