Quality and productivity of education system is a major issue nowadays. There are lots of factors influencing education quality, one of these important factors is the condition and quality of the building. An educational building should provide a safe and healthy environment which students can study and work at their maximum health and productivity. Buildings may fail to provide such condition; Sick building syndrome (SBS) is one of the main reasons for this issue. Some of the common symptoms are headache, loss of concentration, runny nose, itching, dry skin and dry eyes. SBS is not always easy to recognize and lack of awareness amongst designers and users about SBS leads to problems like reducing the productivity or learning capacity of students in an educational building. In this research, signs of SBS have been observed and analyzed in the Architectural Studios of EMU (Eastern Mediterranean University) to find out if the students are suffering from SBS effects and propose some possible solutions for their improvement.
