Introduction
In status quo, there is an evident lack of public school teachers in the Philippines. This has
affected the quality of education of many public schools, especially those located in rural areas
where a small number of teachers are obligated to teach a large number of students who are
desperate to learn. In notion, teachers are known to be the builders of society. They are responsible
for training basic skills to youth in order to become productive workers and contributors to society.
Therefore, it is essential for a society to have a reasonable number of active teachers to fulfill the
educational needs of the citizens of the society. Presently, San Beda University Rizal requires a
facility that will train aspirant students to become good teachers. The researchers have concluded
that the design and construction of a College of Education building swill answer the demands for
teachers in the Philippines. This is the facility that we, Setsuritsu Enterprises, would want
Our company has come up with a design that will hopefully be deemed favorable by the Bedan
community. The students can come from San Beda itself or from other institutions. Regardless, it
can accommodate anyone. The building would also provide a satisfying and comfortable
atmosphere for the students in order to ensure that their college experience will be pleasurable.
Our company would also promise to use materials of highest quality so the building will have a
formidable foundation and structural durability. With these, the building would be granted safety
from catastrophic natural disaster which will preclude the expensive cost of rehabilitation.
17
Background of the Study
According to Republic Act No. 7836, the Philippines recognizes the vital role of teachers in
the nation-building and literate citizenry. It is because of this role that the state promoted quality
professionalizations in the field of education. Despite the government recognition, there is still a
scarcity in teachers, especially in the public sector. According to DepEd, even after 195, 302 public
school teachers were hired between 2010 and 2016, the demand is still very high. In status quo,
the Philippines is taking desperate measures to increase the number of teachers, even going as far
as to allotting 15.5 billion pesos to hire more teachers for 2017. San Beda University Rizal is
known for providing quality education and with the measures implemented by the government and
the high demand for teachers, the institution requires a College of Education building that will
train people to become very skilled teachers who will continue the nation-building and literate
The Philippine Normal University is known for being the main choice of school for Filipinos
who wish to become teachers. There are many more educational institutions that compete provide
education courses like the Far Eastern University and Polytechnic University of the Philippines
thus creating a competition. The college of education building in San Beda University Rizal will
mean that the school will partake in the competition. The researchers believe that the reputation of
San Beda University Rizal as a quality school and the nearer location will mean that more Filipinos
San Beda University Mendiola and San Beda University Alabang are currently the two
branches which offer courses related to education and tertiary education in general. San Beda
University Rizal, unlike the other branches, current does not offer college courses. With the recent
18
granting of the university status of San Beda, it is expected that the population of students and
faculty will exponentially grow. A College of Education building will serve as a head start in San
Beda’s new responsibilities as a university. The construction of the College of Education building
in San Beda University Rizal will provide better and nearer opportunities for those people who
live near the city of Rizal who want to become teachers someday. Moreover, the field of education
would be provided a wider societal interest amongst the students living in or near Rizal because
people will no longer have to worry about traveling so far to learn how to become good teachers.
It will also interest Bedan students who also desire to become teachers. Regardless of the
demographic, the college of education building will benefit students who are heavily interested in
The company’s proposal to design and build a college of education building in San Beda Rizal
aims to help in resolving the demand of teachers in the Philippines. Currently, San Beda University
Rizal does not offer educational courses. A college of education building is required to compensate
this absence. The facility would provide a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere for the students
and staff. Once the facility is fully functional, the building will finally serve as the training grounds
for skilled teachers, teachers who will be responsible in mentoring the youth to be productive
contributors to society.
Following the granting of San Beda’s University status, it is expected that there will be a
growth in the population of students and faculty. Currently, San Beda University-Rizal lacks a
college building and with the recently granted university status, it is expected that the all the
branches of SBU will have the capacity to provide tertiary education. The construction of a College
of Education building will help SBU-Rizal in anticipating the expected population growth of the
19
campus. It would also help the students interested in taking Education courses in finding a school.
In summary, it would be better if the campus would have a new building that will give the campus
the capacity to provide higher education. The main problem of this research is how will the College
of Education building satisfy the students and other personnel who will eventually use it? The sub-

The College of Education is important because there will be more opportunities for the college
students to have a school to study and the teachers to have work. The College of Education building
is for students who want to pursue college in San Beda University Rizal.
The study is significant in a way that it will benefit the following sectors:
College students will benefit the most because they need more choices of schools. One of the
benefits of the students is they will be having a college school near their location unlike other
school or universities that is far from their location. The former student of this school can pursue
Professors may benefit because there will more students and that means that there will be more
job opportunities. The professors will not be worrying for the job that they will have because there
Employees working in the service sector (i.e.: security personnel, janitors, cafeteria chefs) may
also benefit because the additional facilities of the building will require more workers for it to
Additionally, the school may also benefit because if the college of education building is
successfully built then the school will receive more students and they will be known for having a
college of education building. And the school will have more money for more school
improvement.
21
Lastly, future researchers will benefit because they will have basis for their own future research
This study will focus on designing and building a simple and conventional college of
education building which will be appeasing for the entire community of the San Beda College
Rizal. This includes the best design that the respondents such as students, teachers and staff chose.
Part of the study will also take focus on three characteristics: Simplicity, the simple layout
of the building that will ensure that the people using the building will not get confused or lost and
comfortability, the satisfying environment that will appease the buildings users.
This study will only focus on the external factors of the building like the structure and
design and not the internal factors like furniture and equipment as these are all subject to a different
research.

Chapter 2: Review of Related Literature and Studies
This chapter will present numerous references related to the study that will serve as a guide
For instance, one of the references will tackle the trending architectural trends and another
reference will discuss how modern architecture and certain colors on buildings have psychological
effects to its occupants. These references will help the researchers synthesize ideas on how the
building will look like and how it will harbor interests to those who see it.
According to Perez (2005), in commercial architecture, the design of the building must always
attract people regardless of their status. Additionally, the good use of lighting and color mixing on
a building can have a psychological effect to people because the human eye can be easily distracted
by bright and colorful objects. Jollibee and McDonald’s utilize the combination of lighting and
bright colors to make people turn their eyes on their buildings. Eventually, people develop
As stated by Gutierrez (2016), using the right colour, and the correct selection and placement
can seriously affect the feelings, attention, and behaviour of people when learning. This
architectural strategy can be applied to schools as well, let alone a College of Education building.
For instance, the researchers will use the use red and white colors as the colors of the exterior
walls of the building and as stated by Folk (in press) in “The role of color in the voluntary and
involuntary guidance of selective attention,” in Handbook of Color Psychology that the color red
has been shown to receive an attentional advantage. Additionally, White is also considered to be
the color of perfection (Color Wheel Pro- See Color Theory in Action, 2015).
26
Architectural Trends
According to Siltanen (2017), building with natural features like small parks with trees and
plants are growing in popularity. He mentioned the Zaryadye Park, a park in Moscow Russia which
contains various micro climates held within an enclosed building. With this, he stated that it is
Additionally, the Arch20 Editorial Team (2018) stated that buildings will grow more eco-
friendly on the inside by incorporating indoor green parks and living green walls.
The College of Education building will contain a bench park where students can find
relaxation during breaks but most importantly the small park will have lot of plants that will make
A school building must contain basic learning facilities in order to fulfil its educational
services. Certain schools, notably private schools, have an array of learning facilities which a lot
of teachers and students use to their advantage. The researchers believe that a College of Education
building requires a lot of learning facilities in order to properly give quality higher education to
students. Below are crucial facilities that will be added to the building:
Library
Access to a well-stocked library makes it a lot easier to complete your assignments and get
some quiet study done between classes. Some institutions also house faculty-specific libraries
(such as for business or law) or subject-specific libraries (such as for cinema studies). Most
facilities also stock plenty of fiction, magazines and even DVDs, and most allow personal internet
27
use. Staff are on hand to answer any questions or help you locate resources and run regular sessions
San Beda University Rizal currently has two libraries, one is used by Elementary and Junior
High School students and the other is used by Senior High School students. The different
curriculum of Education courses (place source) suggests a new library dedicated to students who
Computer Laboratories
Computer laboratories are a must for completing assignments and researches between
classes. The students can create documents, scan photographs, documents and slides,
create PDFs, access the internet, edit videos, edit audios, annotate audios and videos,
graphic design, view media, and take workshops using these laboratories (place
source here)
Auditorium
can play a big part in molding these future teachers because it is a place that can be used for varied
types of activities and formal assemblies like lectures, awarding ceremonies, public speaking
These activities are tools that could mold the students or the future teachers to speak well
and perform with confidence. Confidence and public speaking are skills that are expected from
Gymnasium
Gymnasiums can be used as multi-purpose halls but often used as physical education
activities. Nickerson Corporation (2015) stated that having a fully functional gym can teach
28
students how to live a healthy and physically active lifestyle, can de-stress students from academic
Building another gymnasium will extend physical education programs to college students
and will also serve as training facilities for students undergoing athletic programs.
Course-SpecificfFacilities
Many institutions offer specialist facilities for students in certain courses. You may find moot
courts for law students, performance and exhibition spaces for creative arts students, simulated
hospital wards for nursing students, recording studios for media students and on-campus clinics
for psychology students. In the proposed design of the College of Education building, an
auditorium will be built for students who will take English and Filipino education courses, a
computer laboratory for Technology students and a laboratory for science students.
Importance of Teachers
Teachers play vital roles in the lives of the students in their classrooms. Teachers are best
known for the role of educating the students that are placed in their care. Beyond that,
teachers serve many other roles in the classroom. Teachers set the tone of their classrooms,
build a warm environment, mentor and nurture students, become role models, and listen
Teachers are most often the source of knowledge of most children. They are the reason
why people learn to speak, write, do simple mathematics and be obedient to authorities.
Furthermore, teachers also serve as role models, mentors and protectors who ensure that a student
29
becomes successful by teaching them how to be respectful as well as helping them with their
Teachers are very important in the lives of people and therefore it is essential for a country
to have plenty of well-educated teachers to nurture the minds of the students who will eventually
work. The construction of a College of Education building in SBU-Rizal will help in training more
people to become teachers who will serve as role models, mentors and protectors to students.
for those teachers to be well-trained and well-educated in order to provide proper quality education
to students of both public and private schools. According to Evers, Vermeulen and Klink (2007):
Without properly trained teachers, pupil learning will not be stimulated optimally and students will
subsequently lose money in the form of missed earnings in their later lives. This is because at the
Education building will serve as a training facility for students who wish to become quality
teachers.
According to Albert (2013), the data from DepEd show that the School Year (SY) 2010-
2011 had 413,872 elementary teachers and 201,435 secondary teachers – for a total of
615,307. Between SYs 2004-2005 and 2010-2011, the average rate of increase in the number of
30
teachers in secondary education is higher (2.7 percent) as compared with those in elementary
education (1.4 percent). It is likely that the numbers have already greatly increased.
elementary teachers out of 80,509 examinees and 49,626 secondary teachers out of 107,020
examinees successfully passed the Licensure Examination for Teachers (L.E.T.) given
last September 24, 2017 in 27 testing centers all over the Philippines, Hong Kong and Thailand.
The statistics reveal that there are plenty of people who want to become teachers and it is probable
The data clearly shows that the College of Education building is of great importance for
the aspirant people who wish to become teachers will use the building as a training facility.

Chapter III: Research Design and Methodology
The study aims to plan and design a College of Education building at San Beda University
Rizal. The researchers also plan to design the building based on the visual and tactile preferences
of the students of SBU-Rizal. With that said, it is paramount for the researchers to know what
exactly the students want to see in the building. This chapter contains the research design and
research method used in the study, the sampling technique used, a brief description of the
respondents, the instrument used as well as details on its validation, the complete data gathering
procedure, the statistical treatment and lastly the illustrations of the building made by the
researchers.
Research Design
The overall design used by the researchers in this study is the Quantitative Design. The
researchers utilized this design because the data necessary for the research are numerical and
computable.
analysis of a data that were collected through questionnaires or surveys. Although Quantitative
Design is distinguished by a strict requirements for structure, provides a place for a flexibility and
participants in an accurate way. More simply put, descriptive research is all about describing
32
One of the ways a researcher can go about doing a descriptive research project, is through:
specific topic
In this study, the Descriptive method used by the researchers is survey type, this was used mainly
because it is the most reliable method to get real feedback from respondents —no matter what
Sampling Technique
The researchers used Stratified Random Sampling as the sampling technique in order to
proportionally distribute the surveys to the respondents which will consequently avoid bias and
most especially unequal chances to the respondents. To further explain, Stratified Random
Sampling is a sampling technique which consists of homogenous sub-groups that are considered
to be essential to a research (DeVault, 2017). These sub-groups are collectively called strata.
Within each of these sub-groups, random selection is done to determine the respondents.
The respondents in this research study were the Grades 9-12 students of San Beda College-
Rizal A.Y. 2017-2018. The grade 9 respondents have the age range of 14-15 years old while the
grade 10 were mostly 15-16 years old. Meanwhile, the respondents from the Senior High School
33
The research only opted for grades 9-12 students as the respondents is because these students are
already well oriented on their career paths. For instance, grade 9 students of SBU-Rizal attend an
annual career streaming conference which aims to orient the students on career choices and the
responsibilities expected in each career path. Grade 9 students also undergo a simulated job
interview to determine their section for grade 10. In the case of grade 12 students, the Senior High
School program is founded on career paths because of the various tracks and strands students can
Instrument Used
The researchers created and used a survey questionnaire for the chosen respondents of San
Beda University- Rizal to answer. The questionnaire contained a letter of consent for the
respondents along with instructions on how to answer the survey. It had 16 questions; most of
which were for the facilities and some were for the design and decorations of the College of
Education building.
The researchers asked the help of Mrs. JoAnne Rae G. Macarandan, a veteran Mathematics
and Statistics teacher, Ms. Julie Ann C. Poso, English teacher and Mr. Michael Czar Zapanta,
Drafting teacher and research adviser to validate the surveys. After a few working days, the survey
containing notes for revisions was returned. The necessary corrections were done before printing
it on a large scale.
34
Data Gathering Procedure
The researchers submitted a formal letter which asked the permission of the Vice Principal
of SBU-Rizal. The researchers also requested the official class lists of all the sections that were
part of the study for it will be necessary for convenient survey distribution.
Before distributing the surveys, the researchers first determined the specific respondents
generated numbers represented the class numbers of the students and so these numbers were
highlighted on the class lists to indicate that these students were randomly chosen for the survey.
The same process was done for every section involved in the study.
After randomly selecting the respondents, the researchers went to each classroom, starting in
Grade 9 and finishing in Grade 12, and distributed the survey questionnaire. The researchers
explained to the respondents the purpose and contents of the questionnaire for clarification and to
avoid misinterpretation. Instructions in filling out and answering the questionnaire were also
explained. The respondents were given enough time to complete the survey questionnaire.
Lastly, all the data gathered from the questionnaire were organized, interpreted and analyzed
accordingly.
Statistical Treatment
A sample size was needed to determine the number of survey respondents. Because of the
unavailability of similar studies containing pre-calculated sample sizes, the researchers used the
35
Slovin’s Formula to get the sample size. The Slovin’s formula is a unique random sampling
technique formula where N is the population size and e being the margin of error (Glen, 2013).
Slovin’s Formula

𝑛 = 409.542195
𝑛 = 410
36
Sample Size = 410
After the sample size was computed, each grade level was proportionally allocated.
Proportional allocation is done by getting the percentage of one grade level to the population and
this was done by dividing the population (N) to the total number of students in one specific grade
level. The researchers used proportional allocation to give each section a fair chance in answering
the survey.
N= Population Size

GRADE NO. OF PERCENTAGE PROPORTIONAL
Table 1 shows the proportional allocation of each grade level and the tables below shows
The proportional allocation was computed by multiplying the percentage with the sample
size (n). To get the percentage, the number of students was divided by the population size (N). For
example, 345, the total number of Grade 12 students was divided by 1188, the population size and
the quotient was 0.2904. This number was then multiplied to 410, the sample size, and the product
was 119. This meant that only 119 Grade 12 students will take the survey.
The same process was repeated for the proportional allocations of each section only with
The proportional allocation of Table 1 then served as new sample sizes for the tables below.
For example, the proportional allocation of section 9-11 was calculated by dividing 43, the total
number of students in 9-11, by 256, the total number of Grade 9 students or the population of
Grade 9. The quotient was 0.1680 and this was multiplied to 88, the number of Grade 9 students

that will take the survey. The resulting number was 15 and that means only 15 students from 9-11

Table 2 shows that 40% of respondents chose white as a color for the exterior walls for the
College of Education building. The survey says that almost half of our respondents want the color
to be white and more than half want other colors like Bright Leaf Green, Peach, and Light gray
combined.
Most respondents have chosen white because this has been the traditional color of San
Beda University alongside the color red. The two colors are also frequently seen in interschool
sports competitions as a representative of San Beda University sports teams with one notable
example being the San Beda Red Lions. San Beda first used its iconic Red Lion logo in 1940
(History of San Beda College, 2006). The Red Lion was chosen by the school because it is the
heraldic symbol of the ancient Scottish/English for courage and also as an honor to the school’s
The researchers would like to accompany the color white with the color red because firstly,
it pairs perfectly with the color white because the two colors are the representative colors of San
Beda. Secondly, it was stated in the article entitled The role of color in the voluntary and
involuntary guidance of selective attention, in Handbook of Color Psychology (Folk, in press) that

Most of the respondents chose white because this has been the traditional color of San Beda
University Rizal. Additionally, Bourn (2010) also stated, “White, an inherently positive color, is
associated with purity, virginity, innocence, light, goodness, heaven, safety, brilliance,
humility, sincerity, protection, softness, and perfection.”. White is also considered to be the color
of perfection (Color Wheel Pro- See Color Theory in Action, 2015). These unique features the
color white brings may suggests why the respondents chose this color.

Using the right color, and the correct selection and placement can seriously affect the feelings,
attention, and behavior of people when learning.”(Gutierrez, 2016). Therefore, the researchers

Table 4 that the color peach and the color blue both garnered 26% worth of votes. In the
total number of votes, the color blue has more votes than the color peach, leading by only one
point. The color blue has 106 votes while the color peach has 105 votes. The blue colored
58
washroom and peach colored washroom received equal favor because this has been the colors of
the senior high school building and junior high school building respectively.
As stated by Przybyla (n.d), the color blue suggests peace and is also associated with
intelligence because it can improve concentration, stimulate thinking and provide mental clarity.
She also indicated that peach is excellent for communication, influences good manners and calms
down. Additionally, Blue is considered beneficial to the mind and body and produces a calming
effect (Color Wheel Pro- See Color Theory in Action, 2015). The color blue helps people feel
relaxed and relaxation is very important when entering washrooms. For this reason, the researchers
would like to use the color blue as the color of the washrooms.

Table 5 shows that the wooden push door got 53% of votes from the respondents which
means that the respondents prefer the easier to open door than the traditional wooden knob door.
This is because push doors are more convenient especially to those carrying heavy objects.
According to Norman (1988) in his book The Design of Everyday Things, “Norman doors” are
badly designed doors which often need printed instructions for people to learn how to open it.

Green (2009) stated in Play therapy theory and practice: Comparing theories and
techniques (2nd ed.), windows that are barred may suggest a prison that one is confined in - even
if it is of one’s own making. It may suggest the need to protect oneself from an intrusive world
perceived to be threatening or unstable. These seemingly negative effects may be the reason why

Additionally, framed glass windows are good because they increase light and ventilation it
is easy to open and it is trouble-free (Gordon, 2017). The respondents probably prefer this because
it gives the school a more modern look and it is useful when an emergency happens because you
will not be trapped inside the rooms compared to the other option which is barred windows. Hence,
the researchers would like to use these type of windows because of its reliability in emergency
situations.

This shows that students are demanding more bench parks since these serve as a place
63
where students can be with their friends, study, eat and engage in social interaction. San Beda
University Rizal is still in need of bench parks since a lot of students end up sitting on the ledges
By giving people the opportunity to sit down to watch the world go by, you strengthen the
vision of a neighborhood with positive aspirations and community spirit. The hope is that this
begins to change the way the community interacts, the way it is viewed beyond its boundary,
and the way people spend time outside the four walls of their home.
According to the parkbenches.org (2017), a bench park can be space saving, cost effective, stylish,
less vulnerable to wear and tear and they can lower the risk of theft. With this, the researchers
would add a bench park to promote social and interactions in the building.

Table 9 shows that 49% of our respondents want to have both statue and fountain in the
College of Education building, 33% for fountain only and 17% for statue only.
The respondents seem to want another statue to serve as a memorial to the patron saint of
San Beda University. This is also because the school has only one fountain located in the lobby.
Astore (2017) stated that statues and monuments are a stimulus for reflection as well as
education. Statues are meant to honor a person for having certain values and motives that people
respected. San Beda often commemorates St. Bede, the patron saint of San Beda, because of his
contributions to the Catholic Church. One example of this is the statue found inside San Beda
University Rizal.
Liddell (2016) indicated that fountains can help a student relief their stress it is also a
natural humidifier and it is an outdoor and indoor décor. Based from the benefits stated above, the

According to the National Association for Sport and Physical Education (n.d), gymnasium
gives students an opportunity to develop their leadership skills and can influence their moral

San Beda University Rizal and 21% voted to not have it.
67
The result of the survey clearly shows the students’ concern about the traffic and car
A multi-level car parking garage is a great way to address the said problems. In general,
multi-level car parking areas and garages provide lower building cost per parking slot, as they
typically require less building volume and less ground area than a conventional facility with the
same capacity (Krishna, n.d). Below are some of the advantages of a multi-level parking system
Minimum space required for more number of cars – Since this is a multi-level
space to serve as car parking area, the multi-level parking can give way to have
more open space for trees and greeneries in the campus, thus, creating an

Table 13 shows that 87% of our respondents prefer to have an internet café in the building
An internet café in the school can be an invaluable help to students who have school
assignments to do but do not have regular internet access or who had sudden internet connection
problems at home (Manion, n.d). Also, it can give students the opportunity to start their homework
before they leave school. Additionally, internet cafés give students the opportunity to feel
comfortable around their peers who have been using these devices for years, thus, helping to close
the digital divide. Furthermore, the internet café will help build a sense of community by creating
a flexible space that can be used for any number of things, including presentations, performances,
On the lighter side, the internet café can also be a safer place where students can relax a bit
after a hard day in their classes, and before they embark on the next day’s tasks.
Bedans often use the computers located in the library for the same reasons however there
are not enough computers for all students. The respondents most likely wanted to have another

students and teachers an extra trip going to the mall or finding stores close to their home (tmwriter,
2013).
72
San Beda University-Rizal has a bookstore and it contributes a lot to students by selling
stationery and other school supplies. Several chairs and tables are also located near the bookstore
which students often use during breaks. However, there is only one existing bookstore in the school

It is very hard to focus in studying or teaching if students or teachers are exposed to hot
temperatures. Hot temperatures can lead to headaches, and can affect students or teachers
performance (Skinner, 2017). Having air conditioned hallways can have comfort in the learning
environment, students or teachers will do their performance better than before (Matiak, 2017).
Despite the stated benefits, the researchers will not install air-conditioning units in the
hallways in order to reduce the costing of the building and to preclude the expensive maintenance
of these air-conditioning units. The researchers believe that the lack of air-conditioned hallways is

Having an elevator in school is very useful because some students or teachers may have an injury
or disability that requires them to use a wheelchair (Rappaport, 2010). This too is a fast way for
students who needs to be in their class in time. Having an elevator is important in a multi-storey
school building (Ministry of Education New Zealand, 2018), let alone a College of Education
building.
Hence, the researchers would like to install an elevator in the building with the purpose of

Chapter V: Summary of Findings, Conclusions and Recommendations
This study was conducted with the purpose of planning and designing of a College of
Education at San Beda University-Rizal. The researchers aim to plan and design the building based
on the visual and tactile preferences of the students of San Beda College in order to give said
students a convenient and satisfactory experience. The main problem of this research is about how
the College of Education building will satisfy the students and other personnel who will eventually
use it. This chapter will discuss the findings of the survey questionnaires proportionally distributed
to various students of San Beda University (refer to Chapter 3) which revealed what exactly the
students want to have for the building for their own convenience. Conclusions based on said
findings as well as recommendations for future researchers who wish to expound on this study or
The researchers utilized a “quantitative design” or “quantitative method” for this study
because the essential data for this study were quantitative or numerical. Survey questionnaires
were used to gather the necessary data for the research. The entire study was conducted in San
Beda University Rizal since the proposed College of Education building will be built there. The
researchers used Stratified Random Sampling as the sampling technique in order to proportionally
distribute the surveys to the respondents which will consequently avoid bias and most especially
unequal chances to the respondents. There were a total of 410 respondents which composed of
77
There are three sub-problems in this study which have been answered through the data
gathered and analyzed (refer to Chapter 4). The first question is what will be the artistic design of
the building? This is essential because the design can affect the satisfaction of the students to the
building. The second questions is about how will the building provide amusement and convenience
to the students and visitors? This is important because adding amusing and interesting features to
the building will provide satisfaction to the students and visitors. Lastly, the third questions is how
can the College of Education building extend the facilities of San Beda University Rizal to provide
a satisfactory experience to its students and visitors? The College of Education building must
contain facilities that will provide better services to its students and to other people inside the
building.
According to the results of the survey, the preference of the respondents regarding the

Conclusion
The analysis of the data revealed significant conclusions. The three significant conclusions
1. The respondents want the College of Education building to be similar to the other
buildings inside San Beda University in terms of paint color and certain furniture
gymnasium and auditorium for instance. Additionally, they also want the building
81
3. The respondents want to have facilities that will please them such as a bench park.
Recommendations
doing their research. As early as possible, future researchers should start creating a timetable on
when should one certain part of the research should be done. A checklist consisting of objectives
In designing the building, the future researchers must be attentive of the buildings they
see every day as those can be used to synthesize ideas about the design of the building. Future
researchers may also look at building designs on the internet. Alternatively, future researchers
may use open-world video games to look for ideas. Open-world video games have virtually
rendered buildings and other various structures in the game’s map that the player can interact
with and future researchers can synthesize a design for their building based on those seen in the
game.
