Abstract
For the most part of ones life to date one has been
a student of one form of formal education or other.
From the wealth of experiences from these forms of
education, one could not be conversant with one might
term "the student problem", this of course places one
in a good position to advocate for the need to improve
the general welfare of students.
Finally, arrived at a decision to design a
community living space for Abuja University Students to
be known as STUDENTS' UNTON COMPLEX. Realisation of the
fact that other welfare buildings like Churches/Chapels,
Mosques and Classrooms cater for only a cross-section of
the students was considered as an added advantage to
this thesis.
This thesis report in its first part deals with the
introduction. This is followed by literature review of
College/Students' Union Buildings. Lastly in this part,
are the case studies of existing Students' Union/Centres,
where a critique is done to the Union buildings.
The second part deals generally with the necessary
information on the University, site and thesis problem.
Information and basic data, in this stage attention was
given to the site and its environmental factors, which
are among ,the factors determining the design, as they
form the basis for the guidelines Leading to design
process.
In the next staple, attention was focussed on the
various processes of design, like programming,
schedule of accommodation, conceptual development and
the final stage and its report.
Programming process sheds more light on the
multiple functions of the students' Union complex, with
a view to coming up with a comprehensive brief for the
proposed Union complex
Conceptual development, deals with the analysis and
synthesis of various concepts or factors in the process
of conceptualizing the design.
The final design evolved as a result of translating
various analysis and functions. The design report is an
evaluation of the design in terms of its operation and
the problems encountered and the likely ones in its
executions.
