Seven categories users were selected based composition use extracted four components satisfaction. reveals are satisfied current condition add others facilities would make building effective. also shows only 45% often week, 90% identified necessity library, 10% was rated effectiveness facilities. recommends professional built environment approach projects holistically psychology attaining functionality aesthetics consider perception towards utilization. Nigerian requires better design attract cooling comfort, reduce consumption, attractive users.
