Investigating the impact of spaces design on user satisfaction in university libraries: a case study

Facilities, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: April 12, 2025

Purpose Modern university libraries are evolving to meet students’ needs, offering varied study environments that cater both private and group work. While existing research has recognized the important of library environment, there remains a gap in understanding how individual attributes, such as age, gender, specific area locations feeling (different level emotion states) influence student satisfaction with interior design. This aims fill this by investigating hypothesized relationships between these attributes satisfaction. It offer practical design insights tailored needs students. Design/methodology/approach analyzed among 404 users across four areas one – two designed for quiet collaborative discussion using questionnaires distributed team. Analysis variance t -tests were used assess elements, including size, seating plan, layout, ergonomics openness, affect user A structural equation model was analyze perceived quality overall various environments, goal identifying improvements could enhance experience. Findings revealed traditional, non-co-working spaces expressed greater plan layout compared those co-working settings. Also, groups found openness be equally satisfactory, suggesting factors consistently well-received different spatial designs. Furthermore, highlighted “age” “location” (the where spent their time) significantly influenced users’ satisfaction, features well being particularly valued younger older users. Originality/value enhances elements libraries. By incorporating variables location, age feelings into analysis, it provides nuanced framework evaluate responses indoor environments. The findings highlight importance strategies suggest need improved tools measure complex interplay differences built environment.
