PROPOSED STUDENT CENTER FOR CROSS RIVER UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY

ABSTRACT A student center activities center has been chosen as the topic of this thesis and for many reasons. The first is the acute need for such facility on campus, the students and the university have expressed their needs for such a facility for a long time. At the present moment, no such facility exists on campus to house the students’ needs of recreation and socializing; only make-shift spaces serve these needs right now, with the result that the present activities are scattered all over the campus ground. Secondly, a student center would enhance the aim of the university by providing an atmosphere for a population of the students and alumni of the university. The facility will serve as an informal educational medium for supplementing the academic and non-academic factors of education by centralizing and integrating the University community effort and activities. It would definitely contribute to the student awareness of self-governance and civic responsibility. Thirdly, the University will strive to gather the teachers and students into a closer relationship and make the university a better place to help this inter-relation to formulate intelligent and practical programs for action in realizing the lack of creating a better society. This topic was chosen because of the lack of creating a better society. This topic was also chosen because of the importance of its consequences to the collegiate youth of today. The student center would be a focus of campus community life. It should be a part of college life that students should come in contact with, therefore, should be the source of campus spirit. It should be a [lace of welcome and should encourage students to participate in its activities. It should be an educational experience developing leadership abilities through its different committees and programs, and yet should be capable of supplying optimum enjoyment to the student in his leisure hours with social, recreational and cultural entertainment.
