Abstract
One of the most obvious failures in the proper functioning of
a building unit or complex, presents itself in the form of failed
services. A closer look informs us that these problems usually
arise from an improper or total lack of integration of services
into Building Fabric. Attempts to investigate this tendency and
offer solutions is met with stiff impedance represented in a lack
of basic data and literature. This problem, it would prove, is
not a prerogative of the Architectural profession alone, rather it
is a cankerworm that lives within the fabric of the Nigerian
Statistical System (NSS). This basic lack of relevant, reliable
and timely data in the Nigerian Statistical System (NSS) and the
concern generated informed the "Federal Government" establishment
of a "National Data-Bank" in 1988.
This thesis, first investigates the different standard forms
of Integrating services into Building fabric then progresses to
look into the circumstances of the "National Data Bank Project"
and finally applies the results of the first investigation
specifically, together with other design parameters to produce a
design proposal for the "physical facility" to house the "National
Data-bank Centre" within an environment that shall enhance the
performance of its stipulated functions and continue to maintain
such an environment.
