dc.description.abstractDue to the growth of the construction industry with the lack of building Standards, more maintenance, rehabilitation, and renovation work have become necessary to ensure the serviceability after completion and of public buildings. Therefore, ways must be found to reduce the maintenance cost works due to ageing of the buildings while keeping the same quality. Building maintenance is seriously neglected area of research and study. Designers lay more emphasis on how a building would look like and ignored how to maintain the building and therefore raising the cost of maintenance. This research therefore is aimed at minimizing maintenance cost in public buildings from the design stage. It shall also make designers and Architects to make minimizing the cost of maintenance a priority during the design stage of any public building. Thus the research concluded by identifying the key areas that the designer needs to pay attention to during the design stage. These key areas were found during the case study, personal observation and oral interviews. The outcome of these studies leads to the proposal of a School of Post Graduate for Umar Musa Yaradua University Katsina that if fully implement require a very minimum amount of maintenance cost throutout the life time of the proposed building.en_US
