Abstract

With increasing collaborative and blended learning in classrooms, universities need to understand the changing needs of students, belonging to so-called Y generation, in order to provide them with environments more conducive to studying. The purpose of this study is to provide design direction for study spaces by identifying college students’ study behaviors and needs using the concept of ‘the 3rd place’. Ray Oldenburg’s ‘the 3rd place’ refers to public places vital for public life, where people gather outside their home and the workplace. Through literature review, characteristics of ‘the 3rd place’ and physical characteristics for study space were identified and developed into a survey instrument. A total of 130 students at K University in Seoul, Korea participated in the study. The research results show that group study spaces are lacking at the university, and students preferred ‘Open’ and ‘Private’ types the most among five prototypes of study space suggested in this study. The result also shows that students considered easily-accessible locations and hours, and the provision of food service and equipment for collaboration are important. The results emphasize a strong rationale to provide comfortable spaces for individual and group study in university by adopting the characteristics of ‘the 3rd place’.
