      <abstract><p>Learning spaces play an important role in shaping the experiences and well-being of students 
within educational environments. Well-being has become an increasingly prominent concern since 
the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly for students, as there is growing scholarly attention on the 
influence of the role the built environment plays in aiding well-being. Existing studies on learning 
environments primarily focus on academic performance, while limited attention is given to the 
spatial configuration variables affecting well-being in learning spaces. This study aims to identify 
the spatial configuration variables that influence well-being in learning spaces from existing 
literature by addressing the following research questions: (1) what spatial configuration variables 
influencing well-being in learning spaces have been addressed in existing literature? (2) Which 
variables are most influential? (3) What gaps and future research directions characterise the field? 
A hybrid literature review combining a scoping review and bibliometric analysis was conducted 
to identify, map and synthesize relevant literature using Google Scholar as the database. Findings 
indicate that interconnected spatial dimensions influence well-being, and environmental quality 
variables emerged as the most influential factors. Key gaps identified include a paucity of 
longitudinal and multi-variable research, and under representation of tropical learning 
environments such as Nigeria.</p></abstract>
