(Background and Purpose) Since the 2000s, the direction of university education has shifted away from unilateral knowledge transfer and emphasized collaborative learning through student interaction, meeting new colleagues or discussing areas of interest, sharing knowledge, and creating new ideas. It is changing into a learning space. Following these changes, the Group Study Room is attracting attention as a space for students to learn mutually. Accordingly, domestic universities have created a group study room or a seminar room where users can collaboratively study through library remodeling and construction, creating information sharing spaces to reflect the social environment. . Therefore, in this study, in order to conduct research on the group study room, each university in Korea will investigate the use condition and satisfaction level of the group study room in a U.S. university library, where group study is actively conducted. It is intended to provide basic data that can be used for reference when creating and remodeling rooms. (Method) First, the concept of a group study room was investigated through prior research. Second, N university located in the state of Idaho, N university in the United States was selected, and drawings and field surveys were conducted in the United States to understand the operating conditions and status of each group study room. Third, the satisfaction level of the group study room was investigated through user questionnaires. (Results) The students rated their satisfaction on a 5-point scale. First, regarding library use, satisfaction was highest in library location (4.59 points). Second, over half of the respondents (54.6%) use it at least twice a week, indicating that students use it frequently. Third, the overall satisfaction with the general information of the group study room was high. Fourth, about the indoor environment of the group study room, overall satisfaction was high, such as illumination, finishing materials, interior color, indoor air quality, and sound insulation. Fifth, in the case of group study room facilities, all items showed high satisfaction. Sixth, as a result of the average comparison of each population, the satisfaction of female students (average 4.31 points) was higher than that of male students (average 4.07 points), and the satisfaction of freshmen (average 4.41 points) was found to be the highest. (Conclusions) Through this study, it was found that US university students have a high demand for group study rooms for various debate learning. The creation of a group study room serves as a core space of university libraries for students to develop mutually through free discussion and communication. Therefore, continuous research on students' learning space is required, and this study is expected to be used as basic data for the creation of learning space in universities.
