Zusammenfassung: Background: The paper draws on research at the intersection of spatial cognition and architectural design to examine how the design of a space can influence how people behave in it. We examine the potential of well-designed informal learning spaces for university students. The distinction of formal versus informal learning spaces comes from the learning sciences; whereas formal learning spaces are primarily designed for learning (e.g. classrooms), in informal learning spaces students typically combine learning with other activities, such as eating, drinking and socialising. Aims: To examine how students’ experiences of informal learning spaces are affected by the design of the space. Methods: We present findings from an online survey on how students experienced a set of temporary informal learning spaces. Spaces were rated for the following attributes: atmosphere, temperature, acoustics, light, electricity, wifi and accessibility. Additional survey questions provide more general feedback about how students experience the spaces. Results: Findings show that students rely on informal learning spaces for their studies and that they need more such spaces. While their basic learning needs are met in the current design, they expect a more comfortable atmosphere. Together with findings from social network studies, we argue that students’ learning experiences are improved when the spaces are well-designed. Conclusion: We relate the findings from this study to broader spatial cognition literature on how architectural design can align the intended and actual behaviour of individuals in space. We discuss the potential gain of designing more comfortable spaces that better fit with student users’ expectations.
