ABSTRACT
A school is an environment where knowledge is acquired at various levels. The buildings or environment where this knowledge is acquired is as important as the knowledge itself. With the prevalence of Universities established often within residential quarters to cater to the needs of the Nigerian populace, it has become imperative that research explores the impact of building typology/environments on academic performance of students. This study evaluates this relationship in some Universities in Oyo state, Nigeria. A survey of University students as well as physical measurements/documentation of both schools was used to obtain the students' view of their school building, how it affects them and if their school building was built for school purposes or not. Interviews were also conducted to get more information from the students on the subject matter. The data was analyzed using IBM SPSS® 21 for descriptive statistics from questionnaire responses. Study findings reveal that performance of students would improve with the provision of adequate and conducive school environment with emphasis on facilities such as classrooms and toilets. It further revealed that good indoor air quality, good visual comfort and sufficient space within and outside learning spaces are factors that affect performance of students amongst others. The implication of these findings to designers is that the building typology (be it originally residential or institutional) plays a significant role in the overall academic performance of students in the study area.
