BITUMEN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY HEADQUARTERS, AKURE (AN ARCIDTECTURAL AID FOR EFFECTIVE ADMINISTRATIVE FUNCTION)

Abstract

In any organization, private or government, the need for a Headquarters building cannot be overemphasized. The Headquarters building should provide comfortable working environment, efficient and strategic accessibility to various parts of the building and also maintain standard and maximum efficiency. The Bitumen Development Authority (BDA) Headquarters stands as a statutory body, which concentrates more on monitoring the affairs of bitumen and exploration than going into production. The Headquarters building is designed to provide a permanent and adequate accommodation for the staff as well as integrate all the functional units of the BDA under a single architectural complex. In a bid to achieve a successful and functional design, architecture was used as an aid for effective administrative function.
