Abstract

Caleb University, located in the fast growing corridor of Imota, Ikorodu, Lagos State. The University faces challenges relating to health service access for students and staff, inadequate or non-available wellness infrastructure and unstable energy supply. Students and staff rely heavily on external health facilities which should definitely not be the way approach. These facilities are at long distances some which even comes up with difficulties in terms of transportation to these facilities, overcrowded, or poorly managed. This study talks about health importance and brings out infrastructural gaps that hinder the smooth efficiency of wellness services on campus. The research further explores the use and functions of renewable energy systems—particularly solar photovoltaic (PV), hybrid storage, and design strategies—to support an energy-efficient urban wellness facility. The study shows that a renewable-energy-powered wellness facility would address these gaps by combining preventive healthcare, mental wellness for users, sports functionality, and technological system. The research provides practical guidance for the following stakeholders: planners, architects, and policymakers in designing wellness infrastructure that is community-driven, community impact, sustainable, and resilient to Nigeria’s energy challenges.
