    Abstract
    Learning centers are very common in higher education institutions, and this case study analysed SCCC Learning Resource Center. The study aims to identify the level of permeability and wayfinding using space syntax. Space syntax technique able to discover the spaces as social forms. The building is located in New York, the United States, accommodating dynamic social learning and conventional peaceful single-scholar studying. This case study identifies the level of permeability and wayfinding through a numbering system to study the space syntax of the SCCC Learning Resource Center. The overall level of permeability determined is semi-public, which is 51% of overall spaces. In addition, the level of wayfinding is average which is identified as 38% of overall spaces. Finally, the permeability levels are appropriate to the building typology of this building. The wayfinding level is average because there is a limitation of access to the first floor level for the building user. The ground-floor level is more complex and has a higher number of private spaces compared to the first-floor level.
