I'm saying this from a place of love, trust me, the architectural design looks too casual; Lagos needs to step up in this regard. The design shouldn't be this normal design we see around, given the magnitude of the structure.

Lagos no wan greee at all. This is beautiful, and kudos to the government. LASU is gradually being transformed into a world-class university.

I like the sun-roofed atrium in the middle.
It’s a really nice space for student activities.
@blackafricanwit
Poor architecture, but nice. We should be building stuffs with top class, not just block and cement, this is Lagos abeg
@Onodjaeefemena
For the record, that’s the largest library in West Africa. We are lasu! We are great. There’s only one LASU and other Universities
@oluseed
The atrium should have been a full green courtyard with some outdoor seating to cool off from long reading hours. It will also help to make the building more passively efficient. Kudos to @jidesanwoolu
