What an ugly building! The entire Afe school is complete mess, architecturally.

This has got to be the ugliest university senate house in Africa

Ugly piece of crap

This is a colossal mess.
Boring edifice and boring facades. I always wonder if this country have architects and planners.
Too much glorified poultries everywhere.

Most senate buildings are masterpieces but this looks too boring to wow anybody looking at it.

Valid comments from thoughtful minds that have vast exposure.
Kudos.

I must say u have taste.
People are busy commenting about how beautiful the structure is.
Sometimes I wonder why we like mediocre structures.
Or regular uninspiring structures.
Just look at how over imposing the front is.
And thise white and black squares are not neat.
All the same kudos to the owner for making his university one of the best in the country.

Our standards are terribly low in this country. Our designers are not creative.

Sadly, our youths and citizens praises anything they see that are better than what they had seen before.

Honestly, as someone earlier pointed out, the facade is just too dull. Typical Nigeria architecture. See the surrounding landscape, no creativity.

Call a good Arab or European designers with fewer costs, they will put up a better aesthetically appealing edifice.

Depends on how far back they go for what they have seen before. The buildings before 1970 were not as bad, architecturally, as what we have since then.

I agree. The building looks like those modern shopping malls you'd find in Milan.

We hear of Greek architecture, Italian Architecture, Dutch design, etc. Can't we also have Nigerian architecture? And where else to reflect this than the university buildings? At least, draw inspiration from the Palaces of the Shehu of Borno or Sultan of Sokoto, and that should force Nigerian architecture to be a course of study in foreign countries.

this man is heavily investing in this university, i doubt he is profit driven, he seem to want to leave a strong legacy behind

Afe babalola and Adeleke are throwing billions into education and still giving out massive scholarship

A building doesn't have to be 'fine' to be an architecture masterpiece.

From this building nickname 'white rock', there's an undertone to its design. This is why it is compact and daunting in its own little way, hence the building shape/form and small pocket of windows on its facade.

It's more of an architecture typology called brutalist architecture. Similar examples are Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and Notre Dame Chapel. The building types are more like artistic sculpture.

The building is an embarrassment to the 21st century; is it a reflection of the Nigerian educational system?
