Abstract
Topic: Post-graduate hall of residence for the Ahmadu
Bello University, Zaria.
Purpose: The main aim of this thesis is to evolve a
desing for a post-graduate hall complex for A.B.U.
Up to date such a facility has been non existent
in the University, unlike other Unverities of its standing
which all have post-graduate halls, This has resulted in
the accommodation of post-graduate students in the same
hostel blocks with pre-degree and under-graduate students,
whose live styles are must times too boistrous to afford the
post-graduate students the matured and ideal enviroment
necessary to enhance the pursuit of their academic goals to
the highest optimum.
Brief: The hall complex is designed to accommodate
840 students (640 male, 200 female). The accommodation
units are broken up into ten pairs of hostel blocks, one
block in a pair accommodating 44 students while the other
40, Each pair inclcuses an open courtyard.
Other associated faciliteis include, the dinning
hall/kitchen, Administration building and boat jetty.
Site: The site for the complex as defined by the A.B.U.
master plan is an area next to the "Extension to the main
campus" and bordered on the South by the A.B.U. reservoir
(Kubani lake.)
