Understanding user needs for responsive study space design. College & Research Libraries, 79(7), pp. 895-915.https://hdl.handle.net/10877/7957To design learning commons study spaces responsive to user needs, the study spaces programming team at Texas State University created a survey focused on (1) how faculty and students like to work and (2) inspirational environmental attributes. Results from 199 respondents indicate that (1) 85 percent prefer to study/work alone, and (2) environmental parameters noise/sound, light, and links to nature most affect work/study space quality. Removing the concept of library from the survey provided generalized results about study/work environments, suggesting that well designed study spaces can occur anywhere on campuses that serve large populations with a single library.Text21 pages1 file (.pdf)enuser needsresponsive study space designlibrariesuniversitiesFamily and Consumer SciencesArticle© Asha L.
