dc.description.abstractThis scheme is purely a hypothetical academic exercise but has some practical intentions. Its theme is on "built Scientific Research F a c i l i t i e s " . The proposals are f o r Nigeria end to bo sited in Kaduna, in lieu of "Land -Use maps" for the New Federal Territory which was the f i r s t choice of location. It is common knowledge that in the struggles for t h e overall development of the Nigerian nation, the role of Science and Technology is crucial throughout the span of every development programme. For the desirable national self-reliance to be achieved one considers the acquiring and building up of scientific and technolaical s k i l l s and knowledge very fundamental and imperative. The required s k i l l s and first-hand knowledge can only be acquired and developed through elaborate and sustained research. The need for a centre for Scientific Reseach i s thus established. Consequently, a "National Centre for Scientific Research and Development" is being proposed and designed in this scheme. The main purpose of the scheme is to evolve the planning end design of the Research Centre which will comprise of a complex of i n t e related laboratories, workshops, offices and other ancillary research f a c i l i t i es within a flexible, adaptiblc and conducive arohitootural setting and environment. The type of research envisaged and designed for is of interdisciplinary nature in tho fields of t h o physical and chemical sciences, engineering and Technol ogy. A detailed study of research f a c i l i t i e s , especially the laboratories were carried out and on that basis the design of tho Research centre was evolved. Becuase of the universal nature of science and scientific research, the similarity of research procedures and methods and the identical uses of most instruments, equipment and services, the provision of spaces and their f i t t i n g s have to be rather universally similar. This scheme conforms generally. The scheme was limited to general interdisciplinary research and development in Science and Technology. For atomic and nuclear reseach, a separate research i n s t i t u t e would "be suggested to be set up to compliment the type of interdisciplinary research centre proposed in this scheme. This is because of the very special structure, safety and services requirements of atomic and nuclear research from general s c i e n t i f i c research, which if incorporated in the scheme would mount to i n t e g r a t i n g two big projects Into one.en_US
