Exhibition is an art and culture behavior and the bridge between exhibition spaces and visitors. It provides an environment for visitors to understand and appreciate items. Exhibition planning is an important part of exhibition design, one of the creative methods from theme planning and storyline development, to space design. The school history exhibition is a type of “quasi-museum” exhibition method. Research on this issue remains scarce, and exhibition planning and design related information is relatively inadequate. Hence, the research motivation is to explore exhibition planning through Chung Yuan Christian University’s (CYCU) school history exhibition space planning. The purposes of the study are: 1. Compile CYCU’s school founding history and collect related files, photos, and artifacts; 2. Propose exhibition related creative stories as the basis for describing CYCU’s history and presenting its vision; 3. Put forth the content of CYCU’s university archive exhibition planning; 4. Complete the university archive exhibition design creation based on the content of the exhibition planning. The study first reviewed literature on exhibition design, museum exhibitions, memorial space, and university history exhibition space. Then, through field surveys and network information, the school history space case studies were carried out in order to gain an insight into the design of exhibition spaces in different schools and analyze the spatial composition and exhibition elements, thereby completing CYCU’s university archive space creation design. Findings show that: 1. General schools have not set up a unified window for long-term collection of school history files, photos, or artifacts, thus easily resulting in loss or damage of files and increased difficulty in collection and classification of data and artifacts. Schools should therefore consider setting up a responsible unit and personnel for managing files; 2. When engaging in exhibition planning, owners should designate personnel to provide exhibition unit data to design personnel, such as a calendar of events related information, pictures of people and display of physical artifacts; 3. Due to the lack of a response unit, the university archive failed to periodically collect campus artifacts and data. In the future, special personnel and units (such as the archive office/department/university archive/department) for annual data collection and archiving, such as audiovisual files of important events where the president or board chairman delivers a speech, school development drawings, building construction drawings and photos, student manuals, club apparel and equipment, student notebooks, university publications, etc. ; 4. When school history space distribution is not continuous, the connecting space in the middle should be handled with care. Plane and integral spaces with complete floors or buildings should be chosen to fully grasp the exhibition space atmosphere and moving route, thus avoiding incoherence in the exhibition themes.
