Abstract
A B S T R A C T
In response to the Federal Government call to all ministries and parastatals to re-locate their headquarters to Abuja in an attempt to develop it as the new seat of
Government, the "Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines
and Agriculture" (NACCIMA), which is presently occupying a rented accommodation
at no 15 AlKorad Road Mary Land Lagos, is in a move towards the fulfillment of the
Federal Government's call. Undoubtedly, the activities of "NACCIMA" and her contribution to the National economy in the recent past cannot be overemphasized. This has been clearly manifested by the increased volume of business transaction between Nigeria and her trading partners. Consequently, NICCIMA's activities has gone beyond organising trade fairs to that of both office administration and provision of conducive and effective office environment for both local and foreign investors in Nigeria. However, an empirical study carried out on most corporate buildings in Nigeria has shown that they are not used to their capacities because they have not been able to
meet the diverse demands of their numerous anonymous tenants, in terms of facilities
provided there in. Against this background, the concern of this thesis therefore, is to
look into the concept of office Architecture and design as related to ergonomics,
identifying those facilities that makes an office environment human with reference to
the existing buildings. The operational aspect of NACCIMA, which is that of Trade
Promotion, will be emphasized and as such an architectural language will be used to
identify the proposed NACCIMA headquarter.
Finally, conclusion and generalization will be made at the end of the writ-up.
