Abstract
Sustainable development has been in the forefront of debates because of the far reaching effect of climate change on the earth. As a consequence, it has become necessary for all major consumers of resources including the design and building industry to adopt sustainable development measures as a way of prudently using our scarce resources. However, in the process of achieving sustainability, it is also important to maintain the buildings so that they stay sustainable. Building maintenance is a subject that must be approached if a building is expected to perform its function during its life span. This study aims at identifying the adopted existing maintenance strategies in recreational facilities that can be used to promote sustainability with a view to design a recreational facility that would support the SDG’s and passes a green building test in Eko Atlantic city, Nigeria.. A mixed research method was employed in the course of the study which used both qualitative and quantitative research approaches to achieve the aim of the study. Five recreational facilities were selected for this study. Respondents were users of the buildings. A total of 145 copies of questionnaire were distributed. 135 copies were retrieved from the users of the selected recreational facilities, while case studies was carried on of these facilities. The findings from the study suggested that only 2 out of the 5 identified maintenance strategies were implemented in the recreational facilities. The study also identified that poor financial support for maintenance works was the prevalent factor that caused maintenance to be undertaken in the chosen recreational facilities. The proposed design therefore implements the maintenance strategies identified to promote sustainability.
