Abstract
A space usage study was conducted of the College of Architecture and the College of Education
& Human Development on the Texas A&M University - College Station campus. This study
used visual ethnography to document when and where these colleges’ undergraduate and
graduate students study. The goal of the study was to use this information to inform the library in
planning space usage for these student populations. This paper discusses how students use
personal and public spaces in their departments, the library, and what they deem as necessities to
complete their “home away from home” on-campus experience. The photos and gps database
will be added to the library repository collection for future researchers to use.
