Nowadays, the psychologists have considered the human evolution as the outcome of personal and environmental interaction. According to this view, the potential talents and abilities are developed in an appropriate environment, and then they are actualized. Therefore, it is very important to pay attention to environmental factors. With regard to motivation of students, there is a need for physical planning to provide new spaces for Technical and Vocational Colleges in order to strengthen and enhance their professional skills; and the integration of work space at college can be an effective step in students' success in different education groups. Numerous conducted studies have only paid attention to design of colleges according to climate and investigated the impact of physical dimensions in educational spaces such as dimensions and proportions, light, color, furniture and arrangement of spaces, etc, or per capita and radii of access to educational spaces. These studies have been conducted in general for all educational spaces, but they are not conducted in particular for all technical and vocational colleges. In this study, a questionnaire is designed for evaluating the impact of workspace at Sama technical and vocational college of Ardabil and distributed among 100 students. The results indicate that most of the students agree with creation of workspace at this college; and establishment of a workplace in the form of workshop and attendance at Sama technical and vocational collage can be a step in development of educational goals and increase in students' creativity and skills.
