Welcome Message

You are warmly welcome to the website of the Faculty of Environmental Design, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria. The faculty is endowed to be the oldest amongst its pairs among the Nigerian Universities. It was part of the nucleus of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, when it was established in 1962. The two departments of Architecture and Fine Arts were established in 1952 and 1955 respectively, and existed as component parts of the defunct Nigerian College of Arts, Science and Technology, which later metamorphosed into the Ahmadu Bello University. Our pioneer status has aided us to be blessed with high calibre manpower – both in academic and administrative staff mix, as well as in lecture and research facilities. show more

We are proud to be famous at national and international levels for our high quality in research and teaching activities. The faculty comprises of eight (8) Departments, namely: Architecture, Building, Fine Art, Industrial Design, Geomatics, Glass and Silicate Technology, Quantity Surveying, and Urban and Regional Planning. Altogether, the Departments run eight (8) undergraduate programmes, and many more postgraduate programmes in multivarious specialties in each department. Details of these specialties will be found in the postgraduate programmes of each department, as indicated in the departmental portal. The Postgraduate Programmes available to you are for the award of Postgraduate Diplomas, Masters of Arts, Masters of Science, Professional Masters, and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees.

With this vantage position, we have trained a great number of men and women who have made, or making significant contributions to national development in their chosen career and in other spheres of life; such as the academia, construction and real estate development, planning and geoinformatics, printing technology and art & design, etc. Our graduates are among the best and seasoned academics including past and present Vice Chancellors of some Nigerian Universities, among which is the current Vice Chancellor of this great University, Prof Kabiru Bala, the Vice Chancellor, Bingham University, Karu, Prof William B. Qurix, etc. There are also, many other Technocrats, Architects, Builders, Planners, Surveyors, Artists and Designers, Glass and Silicate Technologists, as well as other professionals (in these fields) in successful private practice in Nigeria and beyond, who were trained at this faculty. Prominent among these notable alumni are Arc Mohammed Namadi Sambo (Former Vice President of Nigeria), Dr. Bruce Onobrakpenya, Mr. Demas Nwoko, and Dr Yusuff Grillo (successful visual artists of international repute). Also, Mr. Levi Obem Yakubu (an alumnus of this Faculty) distinguished himself three times consecutively as the best in the China International Ceramic Competition in Beijing, China in 2009, 2010 and 2011, thereby, attracting him a national award by the President of Nigeria.
