Abstract:
The need for school arose in the olden days when there was need to gain, transfer,
improve and devise knowledge. Soon, spaces were erected and these erected spaces have continually been transformed to suit the trend of time and civilization. Due to rapid
increase in population vis a vis population increase in student enrollment the available
spaces soon become inadequate and unsuitable for learning as apparent in Olabisi
Onabanjo University. Hence, the need for provision of purpose built structures bearing in
mind the peculiar nature and characteristic of activities to be carried out in them;
The School of Environmental Technology of Olabisi Onabanjo University which is
a young college presently making use of recycled structures for its academic activities and
of which there is need for permanent and purpose built structures that will suit the
peculiarity of a school of Environmental Technology.
The analysis and synthesis of data collected and visits to sites for case studies were
documented. Research methods used include gathering of information from primary and
secondary sources. All collected data were critically analyzed and synthesized to get
necessary information that is used in the proposed design brief to achieve effective
integration of space. The comfort of the students is given positive consideration by
providing comfortable learning spaces and making the environment attractive and suitable
for learning using nature and man made enrichment items.
