PAVING PROJECT ON EAGLE AND DAVISBURG ROADThe project comprised of the paving of the approaches of Eagle road on both the North and South intersection with Davisburg road.

My responsibilities included the initial design of the turning radii and curbs, then the facilitation of the construction by working on the team that took the grade shots and calculated the cut & fill volumes for the road base. Also the layout and staking of the intended design using intruments like the theodolite, hubs and spray paint to communicate conscisely the design to the contractor.

Finally I worked with the supervising team to ensure the project followed the specifications from start to finish.

PAVING PROJECT ON ORION AND GALLAGHER ROAD 2016The project comprised of the paving of the approaches of Eagle road on both the North and South intersection with Davisburg road.

My responsibilities were similar to those of the Davisburg project, but in addition to the previously mentioned tasks, during the duration of this project I took samples of concrete for the cylinder test and assessed the condition of the existing manhole and the guardrails of the Bridge.

DRAINAGE DESIGN ON LONG POINTE DRIVE 2016The project comprised of the Design and construction of a drainage system to reduce the volume of surface water run on the swale.

I and another colleague designed a simple system to incorporate some pipes to connect the culverts underground while the ditch of the swale was raised. In other to do this we had to take existing measurements on-site and deduce the resultant new elevations of the lawn. Then we made several studies to ensure that the new elevations would drain sufficiently.

Following the completion of the design, we put together the necessary documents for vendors to supply the structures needed for the construction.

HOSPITAL DESIGN IN BENIN CITY 2013This was a part of a larger design development that comprised of a Mall, Housing estate, School, and the Hospital on one large site. It was to be handled by graduate students in groups of four.We worked together as a group to obtain relevant background information to facilitate our designs, and eventually had a group defense of our work. Asides from my input in the group research, I was tasked with the design of the Hospital.

FACULTY OF ARCHITECTURE 2013This was a design project for the second semester of my Post graduate program. It entailed the design of a faculty accomodating 4 departments of Architecture, and located at the Lagoon front of the University of Lagos.The emphasis in my design was to maximise the potential of the site and its environs while downplaying the constraints. This was done in many ways, noticeable amongst which were the building structure straddling the road so as not to obstuct the thoroughfare, and the sun-shading configurations of the fenestration

COMMUNITY SPORTS CENTER 2015This was a design project for the fourth semester of my Post graduate program. It was a community sports center for Badagry.The project had two major facilities on the site which were an indoor sports building and a soccer & athletics arena.

DESIGN OF INTERIOR RESIDENTIAL SPACES (2008)A minor This exercise was a project done in my final year of undergraduate studies. It entailed the conceptualization of interior spaces in terms of spatial function and furniture configuration, and then the rendering and presentation of the resultant works.

MIXED HOSTEL DESIGN 2013A mixed hostel designed to be sited close to the back-gate of the University of Lagos. The project entailed the design of the hostels as well as the planning of the access and zoning of the site.

DESIGN-BUILD OF O.A.A.N SECRETARIAT (2011)My major role was to serve as a link between the main architect and the sub-contractors by use of graphics communication. I also obtained some first-hand training on site supervision during the course of 3 months
