ABSTRACT
Faculty of science in a higher institution of learning can be seen as an academic unit containing a number of related disciplines which are concern with specific phenomena such as technological milieus, laboratory culture and other science policies. And because faculty of science is multidisciplinary and interdisclinary the need for a multi-user space design becomes paramount, because a multi-user space design reduces wastefulness space usage, provides flexibility to the design and also provides great improvement of interaction between the various disciplines in the faculty of science. Therefore this thesis is aimed at identifying spaces that are suitable to being multi-user amongst the various disciplines in the faculty of science. To achieve this aim, substantive findings as well as theoretical and methodological contributions that are related to the topic were carried out, case studies of some selected universities with faculty of science was carried out, and instrument of data collection such as questionnaire was also employed. From the review and the study, it was established that most of the faculties of science are not designed to being multi-user, they are discretely designed and not properly linked together with no full range of shared facilities. The study tends to make a passionate call to Architects and other designers to consider the incorporation of multi-user space as a necessary requirement for design.
