The central hypothesis of this study is that the socio-cultural aspects of a specific society have an impact on the spatial configuration of in-between learning spaces and transitional spaces of the university buildings, and thus influence the overall layout of the campus. The research focuses on studying student activities in in-between learning spaces and their classification to determine the best practices that help designers and decision-makers in educational institutions to reach a physical environment along with the strategic objectives of the universities. This environment must be appropriate to students' requirements of spaces to improve their experiences and spaces usage on the university campus. The research dealt with this hypothesis through a multi-disciplinary framework based on the relationship between the spatial and social configuration of the educational environment. Analysing the components of this theoretical framework on some faculties of the University of Alexandria including the spatial and social configuration of student activities in the in-between spaces. The results of this study were formulated by defining a set of guidelines for spatial configuration patterns and functional relationships of in-between learning spaces used in informal learning and social activities of students.
