Abstract
Most Nigerian colleges, polytechnics and
universities do not have an effective campus scenery design. This has exerted
major strain on the welfare and productivity of staff and students in the
institutions. Some of the reasons for ineffective campus scenery in Nigeria are
inadequate resources for guiding the development of the scenery, saddleless of
physical planning unit with the responsibility of campus activities, lack of
campus master plan that will guide campus scenery design, poor maintenance of existing
limited scenery elements, and lack of research to guide the institutions in
developing campus scenery design. Hence adequate attention on campus scenery is
highly required. This research study investigates the relationship between
campus scenery and the sustainability of academic environments in higher
institutions of learning with particular reference to the Abubakar Tatari Ali
Polytechnic, Wuntin Dada campus, Bauchi, Bauchi state. A quantitative research
design was adopted, using a survey of students and staff across selected unit
schools. Data were collected on perceptions of campus scenery (green spaces,
architectural design, recreational facilities, and artworks) and their impact
on learning efficiency, social interaction, mental well-being, and institutional
image. Results were analyzed using descriptive statistics and regression
analysis. Findings reveal a significant positive correlation between
well-maintained campus scenery and students’ academic performance,
institutional satisfaction, and overall sustainability of academic
environments. Recommendations are made for higher institutions to adopt
structured campus landscaping and maintenance policies.
