Abstract
Babcock University has an environmentally-friendly campus its ‘greeness’ and its calm sense of purpose are welcoming and reassuring. Corporate environments do speak a great deal about such establishments. Two questions arise: Is Babcock University clean inside as well? What population problems is Babcock University subjected to? Literature reveals that the presence of air pollution inside office buildings can cause eye irritations, nausea, headaches, respiratory infections, depression and fatigue. The study was designed to find out whether or not the inside of the nine classrooms in the School of Education and Humanities are as conducive to learning as the external scenery of Babcock University campus. Straddling three weeks, public holidays excluded, this field-experimental study, upon discovering that the classrooms in SEH are generally un-kept, came to conclusions that suggest the urgent need by users, students and teachers to treat this working environment in ways that are salutary to the mental health of people and that of the eco-system.
