Abstract
growth of society is based, it has a vital role in building student’s character, goals, 
and future, and it affects all aspects of his life, such as social, educational, and
cultural. One of the key elements that influences students’ life on campus is the design 
of outdoor spaces (student spaces) where they spend most of their day.
Several previous studies evaluated the quality of a university campus and the quality 
of student university life from different sides, most of which were academic, except 
the UI-Green Metric system that assesses the environmental quality of a campus. The
current study aims to provide a new comprehensive assessment tool that evaluates
the quality of student’s life in all fields of life. The study reviewed many publications
about quality of life and campus design requirements and based this tool on Maslow’s 
expanded hierarchy of needs as well as Lang’s functionalism theory. In order to 
develop a balanced index, the study adopted The analytical hierarchy process (AHP)
and conducted 50 expert questionnaires to produce a balanced numerical evaluation 
index. An index was reached consisting of 25 quality indicators categorized into 
seven dimensions; physiological, social, safety & security, functional, cognitive, selfesteem & self-actualization, and aesthetic quality.
