Grounded in the core values of aesthetic education, this study explores the integration mechanisms between campus spatial environmental art design and educational management from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Aesthetic education serves as a vital pathway for students ‘holistic development, yet its effective implementation requires coordinated support from environmental frameworks and management systems. However, many schools currently exhibit a disconnect between campus environmental design and educational management: environmental designs tend to prioritize functionality and standardization, while educational management often neglects aesthetic dimensions, thereby limiting the full realization of aesthetic education’s potential. Addressing this, the paper proposes an integrated framework centered on aesthetic education, advocating that environmental design incorporate educational principles and that management practices respond to aesthetic experiences, achieving dynamic synergy between environmental and managerial educational approaches. This integrated model enhances the campus cultural ecosystem, elevates students’ aesthetic literacy and humanistic spirit, and offers new insights for educational modernization. The study aims to transform campus spaces from mere physical venues into educational hubs, facilitating the integration and internalization of aesthetic education in daily learning and life.
