    At universities around the world, academic demands generate high levels of stress and fatigue in university students, which directly impacts their personal lives and specific contexts. Therefore, by designing spaces that foster connection with nature and respond to brain function, it is possible to improve comfort, reduce exhaustion, and increase time efficiency. The project proposes the design of 3 prototypes of multisensory educational spaces based on neuroarchitectural principles, aimed at improving the quality of educational spaces at the Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Cuenca. The proposal seeks to integrate neuroarchitectural principles with the design of inclusive and healthy spaces that promote learning. The methodology includes a review of benchmark cases of immersive and multisensory classrooms, as well as their application in educational settings. Based on these inputs, design guidelines focused on the sensory experience and the comprehensive well-being of students will be established. The final result will be a preliminary architectural design that proposes a new spatial organization for the classroom, based on visual, thermal, acoustic, and natural stimuli, while also considering aspects of inclusion and sensory diversity. This prototype seeks to explain how this application model can transform traditional university environments into settings that respond to the cognitive, emotional, and sensory needs of their users, thus strengthening the link between neuroarchitecture and pedagogy.
