Introduction

The existing University Healthcare Centre situated at the Obakekere area of the campus is incapable of catering for the medical needs of the University community due to a shortage of required facilities, equipment, and staffing. The sporadic growth, expansion, and development within the Federal University of Technology, Akure necessitated the development of an improved Modern University Clinic.

In order to improve the standard of the university health system, building a modern health clinic that will serve not only the university but also the community became a necessity.

From one of the semester projects, we were commissioned by the University administration to develop a purpose-built, Modern University clinic. The proposed development was to be well equipped with modern facilities to cater for the medical needs of the growing population.
