description: Scholars have agreed that the way students perceive their learning environment  influences their academic performances. Empirical studies that focus on architecture  students are however very scarce. This is the gap that an attempt has been made to fill  in this study. A questionnaire survey of 273 students in a school of architecture in  Nigeria provided data for this pilot study. The perceptions of the students were best  defined by the involvement of the students in their studies, their perceived support and  conduciveness of the learning environment. The students' perceptions of their learning  environment varied with their years of study, ages, and gender. Their perceptions of  inflexibility of schedule, positive assessment, and fairness influenced the overall  grades of the students. The results suggest the aspects of learning environment that  can be manipulated by architectural educators to improve performances of their  students. The study of the learning environment of architecture students still appears to  be relatively unexplored. The value of this study therefore lies in its exploration of the  perceptions of the learning environment from the point of view of students.
