Within a residential school there is a global issue that relates to the student’s social behaviour which is social detachment towards the surrounding community. The concept of ‘Third Place’ should be emphasise in a residential school design to avoid such issues. ‘Third Place’ has been defined by Ray Oldenburg as a public area or gathering space.

Research method suitable to identify these components are through observation and secondary data obtained from literature review which produce qualitative data collection. Case studies of ‘First Place’, ‘Second Place’ and ‘Third Place’ includes dormitories, schools and famous squares.
