Abstract

With the introduction of modularity, increasing student numbers and the continued expansion of university departments, space in Nigerian Universities is becoming an increasingly precious commodity. To address this, some institutions have tried to ensure efficient space utilization by employing different proposed solutions to space allocation problems especially during examination period.
