“…The high scoring of intensity of use is justified because sports facilities like any other hospitality facilities are such that provide services (round the clock) all the time. The findings agreed with Ikpo (1990), Adeniran and Ikpo (2001), Ikpo (2009) and Oseghale (2016). Indoor sports buildings are usually design with a high head room to enable athletes have their games.…”

The study assessed the perceptions of stakeholders on factors causing sports facilities defects in selected universities established between 1957 and 1962 in South-West Nigeria by examining the strength of the identified factors responsible for sports facilities’ defects in the selected universities. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire which was administered on sports men and women and maintenance personnel. The study incorporated all the fifteen sports featured at the Nigeria University Games Association (NUGA) competitions. Three federal universities were purposively selected because these have facilities for all the fifteen sports and have hosted national and international sporting events. Data obtained were analysed using frequency distribution, percentages, mean response analysis and factor analysis. Using the mean response analysis, the result showed that the most severe factors responsible for sports facilities’ defects were design deficiencies (3.67), intensity of use (3.53), level of exposure to climatic condition (3.41), inadequate maintenance funding (3.19), vandalism (3.18), moisture (3.17) and inadequate cash flow analysis (3.16). The study recommends that users of the facilities should be carried along at the designs stage to minimize design errors and also adequate fund should be provided to maintenance unit to guarantee adequate maintenance of sports facilities for optimal performance.

“…This is, however, without prejudice to the need for routine maintenance to ensure that buildings function well at all times ( Ikpo, 2009 ). POE is a structured approach to evaluating the performance of buildings when fully operational, that is, after they have been occupied.…”

This study evaluates the residential environments of fi ve low-income and three medium-income public housing estates in Lagos, Nigeria. The specifi c objectives were: to appraise the physical characteristics of residential buildings in the estates; to examine the socio-economic characteristics of the residents; to determine the relative levels of residents ' satisfaction; and to analyse the relationship between the physical characteristics and residents ' satisfaction. The methodology involves an expert rating appraisal conducted by four evaluators and a survey of residents ' satisfaction. Ten performance criteria were developed and used in assessing the characteristics of the residential environments. Data relating to residents ' satisfaction were obtained by means of structured questionnaire administered on a systematic sample of 806 household heads, from a sampling frame of 8060 housing units. The quantitative data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study revealed a gap in quality between the mediumand low-income estates. The results also showed that 62 per cent of the physical characteristics of the residences are highly correlated with residents ' satisfaction ( r = 0.62). This buttresses the signifi cance of the physical characteristics of residences in determining the level of residents ' satisfaction. Such information will enhance the skills of architects and housing administrators to ascertain specifi c actions that can maximize more satisfactory housing provisions and minimize dissatisfaction as much as possible.

“…Most areas that prove to be difficult to maintain are directly related to a lack of maintainability considerations in design [23,24]. Checklists have been introduced to guide designers to create more maintainable designs in general [25] and also for specific systems [26]. Having a series of checklists to consider for each component may lead to cognitive overload while designing may lead to overdesigning [27].…”

In a building context, decisions made early in the design phase can have a major impact on maintainability of the resulting facility. Effectively leveraging the knowledge of facility management teams in the design stage can lead to improved maintainability in the operation phase, but this feedback can be challenging to elicit during the design stage because facility management teams may not be formed by the time of design. This requires designers, who may not have facility management experience, to think like facility managers in order to consider the needs of the maintenance teams. This paper examines the extent to which different visualization media may be able to enable individuals without prior maintenance experience to identify maintainability concerns in a design model. Student participants, without prior maintenance experience, were randomly assigned to explore a design to assess maintainability concerns with either augmented reality (AR) or a traditional computer screen for viewing a Building Information Model (BIM). Their perceptions, behaviors, and statements were recorded and analyzed. Results indicate that BIM supports better identification of potentially problematic areas, but AR allows users to more consistently determine why an area is problematic. This suggests an opportunity to use a hybrid BIM/AR approach for identifying and resolving maintainability considerations during the design phase. The findings from this work provide evidence to illustrate how AR and BIM may enable individuals with limited experience to be able to effectively think like facility managers in order to make better maintainability decisions during design to lead to a better building during operation.
