Project Overview

Lagos State Polytechnic — now rebranded as Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUSTECH) — is one of Lagos State's foremost technical and vocational higher education institutions, with its Ikorodu campus serving thousands of students annually. Envostructs was contracted to construct a new block of classrooms for the Department of Insurance, addressing the chronic shortage of lecture and tutorial space at the Ikorodu campus. The project required working within an active campus environment where lectures and examinations continued through the construction period. The completed block provides modern, well-ventilated classrooms with good natural lighting — a significant upgrade to the learning environment for Insurance Department students.
