Abstract

This study analyzes students' sense of place toward the library of UIN Mahmud Yunus Batusangkar, which occupies the second and third floors of the Integrated Lecture Building (Gedung Kuliah Terpadu) on Campus II — a building that also serves as classrooms, the LPPM office, a communication center, an auditorium, and a podcast room. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through field observation and in-depth interviews with active library users selected through purposive sampling. Findings show that students build sense of place through three main dimensions: physical-spatial, functional, and social. Contrary to initial assumptions, the multi-function building context does not weaken the library's sense of place; rather, it actively strengthens users' attachment through a contrast effect between the library's quietness and the surrounding rooms' liveliness. The third-floor thesis collection introduces a distinctive temporal dimension, forming a layer of attachment that extends beyond mere physical experience. This study contributes to the theoretical understanding of the library as a place within an integrated academic building setting.
