“…Toilet facilities have been recognized in Nigerian hostels as a key consideration by estate managers and users (see Tijani, 2007; Ojogwu and Alutu, 2009). It was the only facility examined by Ojogwu and Alutu (2009), while Tijani (2007) focused more on the provision of infrastructure services within hostels in the University of Lagos.…”

PurposeThis paper seeks to adopt an investigative approach to post‐occupancy evaluation using major technical and functional criteria of performance on the facilities of a postgraduate hostel at the campus of the University of Lagos, Akoka, Yaba, Lagos, Nigeria.Design/methodology/approachData collection was based on a survey through self‐administered questionnaires in which users of the building were asked to report on their perceptions and experience of the facility. The user satisfaction survey was developed based on the students' feedback on their experience with 29 identified performance criteria obtained from a review of the literature and an interview with a member of the university's hall management committee. Data at the organizational level were collected by personal interviews with the facilities manager and co‐ordinator of hostels of the university.FindingsThe user satisfaction survey identified areas of deficiency, particularly in maintenance, and facilitated the assessment of the overall performance of the building.Originality/valueThis study demonstrates how universities in Nigeria can assess the management of hostel facilities by hostel administrators and facilities managers. Apart from the results of the user satisfaction survey being useful as evidence to access funds for the improvement of student hostel facilities, the feedback will be helpful in the design and management of new hostel facilities.

“…There is no much work done on measuring students' satisfaction with their housing units provided by the school as suggested by Amole (2009a, b) in his work, this research work therefore intends to fill the gap created by previous researchers as it looks into the hostel accommodation in a polytechnic environment since the polytechnic educational system is quite different from the university system as there is normally a break in between the study after the National Diploma (ND) before the students return for the Higher National Diploma (HND). In the Nigerian context, studies have been carried out by Amole (2009a, b) where residential satisfaction was measured based on the levels of environment, Adewunmi et al (2011) looked at Post Occupancy evaluation while Ojogwu and Alutu (2009) considered the students learning environment and criteria considered for allocating hostel to students. In all these, only Amole (2009a, b) considered the students feelings as they stay in the on campus housing.…”

Purpose -This paper aims to ascertain the adequacy of the facilities provided in the students' hostels and to also investigate the level of satisfaction of the students to the available facilities. Design/methodology/approach -A total number of 250 questionnaires were distributed to the respondents. A cluster sampling method was used in the data collection in which attempt was made to get a fair representation on each floor of the hostel blocks. The data collected were then analysed using descriptive statistics such as the mean score and standard deviation. Findings -The result showed that students were generally dissatisfied with the hostel facilities with a mean score of 2.42 on a five-point scale which represents 66.6 percent dissatisfaction level. The result also showed that not all the necessary facilities as noted by other researchers were provided for the student in the hostel. Research limitations/implications -This result points to the need for a pragmatic and dynamic approach towards providing adequate and relevant facilities in the hostel accommodation to meet the minimum standard as obtained in other higher institution as this will invariably enhance the image of the institution and make it a top institution of choice to prospective students'. Originality/value -Previous studies have always tended to focus on the management and administrative aspects of students housing, this paper provides the students perspective of the housing facilities thereby giving room for continuous improvement in student housing.

“…In the same vein, Lawanson and Gede (2011) postulated the types of facilities the school needs which includes instructional, recreational, residential and generalpurpose. Fabiyi and Uzoka (2007), Ojogwu and Alutu (2009) and Olatunji (2013) alluded that for proper teaching and learning to take place, there must be adequate infrastructure and in many tertiary institutions in Nigeria, the facilities provided for most departments are grossly inadequate for lectures or practical's, some lecturers have no offices, the classroom spaces are small and do not permit meaningful interaction between the teachers and the students which makes the academic environment unhealthy, with decayed, dysfunctional, and dilapidated infrastructural facilities. In this regard, when facilities are provided to meet relative needs of a school system, students will not only have access to the reference materials mentioned by the teacher, but individual students will also learn at their own paces (Ajayi and Ogunyemi, 1990;Ajayi, 2007;Okebukola, 2002;Adeyemo, 2010;Babatope, 2010).…”

This paper identifies the state of academic facilities and its influence on teachers' job stress in Tamale polytechnic. The study adopted a case study approach because it probes a specific tertiary institution in Ghana. Quantitative research method was adopted. Accidental sampling technique was used to draw sample from the population. The research used questionnaire as the main data collection instrument. Total of 114 retrieved questionnaires gave 82.6% response rate. Cronbach's Alpha and KMO was used to test sample reliability and adequacy which yielded coefficients ranging from 0.734 to 0.755. Data were analyzed using inferential statistics, with Pearson Product Moment Correlation and multiple regression models as analytical tools. Hypothesis was tested at a significant level of 0.01 and 0.05. Results revealed a significant relationship of variable for status of school facilities and teacher academic stress sources. Results of hypothesis tested show that status of school facilities influence teacher job stress significantly. It was concluded that inadequate or complete lack of academic facilities for state of the time would not only impair academic productivity, but rather exert undue stress on teachers and available facilities, and recommended that the development priorities of the institution should be staffstudents oriented.
