1. General administration No untoward incident was reported, at least from the students’ side. As regards teaching staff is concerned, the services of Mr. Jimmy Keake, Senior Technical Instructor 1 in Mathematics, were terminated by the University. The Assistant Secretary, Mrs. Evelyn resigned and the semi-skilled worker, Mr. J.L. Rouga, retired after having served the Department for a long time since the very inception of the University. Mr. Sipa Benny, Technical Instructor in Computer Science also resigned. However, he continued to assist the Department as a Part-time Tutor. All of them were given a farewell on 15.04.2008. The teacher – student relations have been fair and no serious complaint has ever been made against any staff except strict marking / evaluation by some of the staff especially Mr. John Shadlow (Sr. Technical Instructor II in Maths.), Mr. John Wamil (Lecturer 1 in Maths.) and Dr. S.N. Pandey (Visiting Associate Professor in Maths.) on some occasions. The new building constructed for the Department was handed over by the contractors in February 2008, but it is still not furnished. It is not usable because of lack of telephone and computer installations. Control of air-conditioners has not been transferred to the Department. As a result, the Departmental Office is still continuing on the First Floor of the old block of Electrical Engineering building. This accommodation is quite inadequate to accommodate all the teaching faculty, Office and other staff. The ceiling of this old building has been leaking throughout and the toilets were in awful condition. Of late, renovation of the building is being done and the toilets are also under repair.

This study investigated water and sanitary conditions of a typical faculty of Public Health building, University of Ibadan, Nigeria. A cross-sectional study was conducted and 108 consented students and staff members were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire. Fifteen (15) toilet facilities with 45 rooms were also observed using an observational checklist. Respondents' age was 28.9±5.5 years, 63.0% were female, 92.6% were students and all participants had completed tertiary education. The main source of water supply into the building was piped water (85.2%) and 77.9% used it for flushing toilet. Only 22.2% reported that the water source is readily accessible all the time while 63.0% stated that the quantity of water available got depleted during the afternoon time. On-site observations revealed that 8 (53.4%) of the toilet facilities had inadequate water supply. Majority (81.5%) reported water closet as the main type of sanitary convenience in the building while the major shortcomings of the toilets mentioned were non-accessibility (88.9%) and shortage of water supply (77.8%). All (100%) of the toilet rooms observed had no severe odour while 2 (4.4%) of the toilet rooms had appreciable quantities of vectors breeding. About fifty-nine percent had good attitude towards the sanitary conveniences within the building and significantly, 75.0% of female respondents had good attitude compared to 25.0% of their male counterpart (p<0.05). Twelve (11.1%) respondents said they practiced handwashing with water and soap and none (0.0%) reported presence of signs that encourage good hygiene practices in the toilet. Wash hand basins was observed to be present and functional within all the 15 (100%) toilet facilities, water was present in 10 (66.7%) of the facilities while soap was absent in all the 15 (100%) facilities observed. Constant water supply should be sustained, handwashing materials and signs that encourage good hygiene practices should be provided within the toilets.
It is imperative that the maintenance possibilities of a building be considered at the design stage, this will enhance ease of maintenance of such buildings and prevent building failures resulting from design inadequacies. This study analyzed the design configurations of selected buildings in Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife; the maintenance problems traceable to design; and also determined the impact of design related problems in the maintenance of the buildings. This was with a view to providing information that could enhance the maintenance of future buildings in the study area. The study used primary data obtained from physical observations of the selected buildings and secondary data from existing maintenance records. There were thirteen (13) faculties with forty-four (44) buildings and eighteen (18) lecture theatres within the study area. Using stratification based on design configuration, twenty-seven (61%) faculty buildings and ten (56%) lecture theaters were selected as sample size for the study. Forty five questionnaires were administered on the staff of Maintenance Unit, building occupiers and the staff of Physical Planning and Development Unit (PPDU) of the university. Data collected were analyzed using frequency counts and percentages. The results of the study revealed that in-built access for maintenance operations was provided for only 31% of the total building facades. The problems encountered in the management of maintenance operations on the defective elements were traceable to factors such as environmental impacts (13%), structural stability (11.1%), functional failures (10.5%), and inaccessible defective portions (9.3%). Others were aesthetic considerations (9.3%), users' impacts (9.3%), choice of inappropriate construction materials (8%), and building shapes (6.8%). The identified physical impacts traceable to design inputs were moisture stain (2.92%), weeds on building elements (2.63%) cobweb stains (2.34%), broken concrete fins at stairwells (0.15%), plumbing defects (0.44%), blocked drains (0.15%), and undersized roof gutter (0.15%) among others. The study concluded that problems encountered in the management of the maintenance operations such as provision of as-built drawings; working space and safe access to defective portions; choice of correct construction materials and methods by certified personnel were not taken care of during the design stage. The study recommended that all building items, elements or components be designed and constructed for ease-of-maintenance to ensure better future performances.

Researchers have often linked the issue of poor quality public toilets to poverty and inferior education. This research, conducted into public toilet use at Hasanuddin University (South Sulawesi, Eastern Indonesia), finds that as a result of poor regulation, equal access rights and high sanitary standards for everyone on campus are not enabled. Rather, public toilet usage is regulated to serve private interests.

ABSTRACT This dissertation conducted a post occupancy evaluation of two purposively selected buildings in Yaba College of Technology, Yaba Lagos to determine the users satisfaction with the building and its facilities and features. The objectives include; to identify the standard, to establish the present condition of the buildings in the institution, to determine if the buildings conforms with this standard and to ascertain if the users are satisfied with the building and its effect on the users. The sampling size was made up of the students and staff of the institution, a convenience sampling technique was adopted for this research work to ensure that only the users of the study area are sampled. The aid of a well structured close-ended questionnaire, past project works and journals were used to obtain the necessary information required for this research study. The information derived from the administration of questionnaire was processed and analysed using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS), the descriptive and inferential statistics were used; the data was presented in tables using percentages and frequencies. The mean item score and the ranking systems were used to rate the performance criteria in the study area and these were ranked to identify the most satisfied and least satisfied as identified by the respondents. Two hundred (200) questionnaires were administered in the study area using stating some performance criteria out of which one hundred and ninety one (191) were retrieved for this study. It was discovered that the most satisfied criteria are the indoor air quality, internet facilities and partitioning of the departments while the least satisfied were the parking space, humidity or dryness and cafeteria as stated by the respondents in the Bursary/Registry building; the most satisfied criteria in the New Building as stated by the respondents are partitioning of classrooms, noise pollution from outside and level of cleanliness while the least satisfied were the indoor air quality, internet facilities and the toilet facilities. It was recommended that adequate toilet facilities and ample parking space should be provided in the study areas and that the management of the institution should adopt a good maintenance culture to help prolong the lifespan and effective functionability of the buildings and its facilities and features.
