| Abstract |
University libraries are changing as the teaching and learning environment changes. In the case of a new recently built or remodeled university library, an open private study space, a group study room, and a break room are being expanded, and a space to support various group activities is being planned. In this study, changes in the spatial composition of university libraries, characteristics of spatial planning, and evaluation indicators were investigated through literature review. A tool for evaluating the spatial composition of university libraries was developed. Then the library space composition was analyzed with the evaluation tool, and the design characteristics were evaluated. Spaces were divided into individual learning spaces, group learning spaces, complex spaces, and public spaces. Six characteristics of a university library, flexibility, accessibility, safety, functionality, convenience, and creativity were evaluated. As a result of the study, a university library needs a design plan that increases flexibility and creativity, combined with study spaces and rest facilities. A library basically requires functionality, convenience, and accessibility. |
