Principles of Design of a Parking Lot for The School Of Engineering Technology Auchi Polytechnic, Auchi, Nigeria.

Abstract

The project focus on design of parking lot in school of Engineering, the parking lot design objective is to maximize the total number of parking spaces available with the considerations that the design should allow for appropriate landscaping of the parking areas without conflicting with lighting. The rapid development of available land in Auchi polytechnic, Auchi has produced large increase in land usage, to the extent that the use of large areas of land for parking cars in the school is uneconomical. It is obvious therefore, that optimum use of the available space in the school for effective space management for car storage during office hours can only be achieved through the use of good parking lot design. The peculiarity of school of Engineering in terms of shortage of space for expansion purposes cannot be overlooked, hence the disorderliness in terms of traffic parking.
