Abstract
The wind of change is blowing accross the globe
in all spheres of human disciplines. This change
is towards increasing demand for comfort. Hence, the
University library which is the heart of the process of
education must not bo loft out in this increasing
conciousness for comfort.
This thesis is therefore, centered principally,
around the comfort needs of readers within the prevailing
climatic conditions of the site.
The first chapter proposes and defines the problem.
This chapter also unfolds the research instrument used.
Chapter two looks at historical developments of
library architecture and operational requirements of the
library. The third chapter examines some existing
libraries with particular emphasis on comfort levels.
Chapter four, which is the research chapter, analysis
comfort parameters with a view to ascertaining basic problem
and solutions. The result of this study is to guide the
author towards making a successful design proposal.
Chapter five examined the project site critically
to know the prevailing conditions. Chapter six which is
the design proposal, reports the application of the
principles studied in previous chapters.
Chapter seven concludes the research with recommendations.
What is hoped is that, the research work would
be useful to students, scholars and the society at large
