The shift in the learning patterns of the current generation motivates the changes in the setting of learning spaces. This research objective is to examine the association between Learning Space attributes with student satisfaction and perceived performance. A survey was conducted in Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Perak Branch, Seri Iskandar Campus, Malaysia. A questionnaire was administered and collected from 410 students, where respondents were asked to select their preferences based on a five-point Likert scale of agreement and satisfaction. The analysis was conducted using PLS-SEM: Smart-PLS Version 3.2 to examine the measurement and structural model of the research. Results indicated that there is a significant relationship between Learning Space attributes with student satisfaction and perceived performance. The overall findings of this research show that the research variables successfully predicted the model.Downloads
