Abstract
This research identifies the importance of an Aquatic Centre as a strategy for providing an environment for water sport and recreation at Ibeno, Akwa Ibom. The center provides a venue for a variety of activities which include water sport competitions for schools and international sport events along with other leisure activities. It is important to design a facility that provide users with a positive experience when visiting its environment. It is a center for all age group and visitors from different parts of the world, thereby boosting the economic aspect of the state and local community. An Aquatic Centre is a facility that require large amounts of water and energy to operate as it involves various types and sizes of indoor and outdoor swimming pools and equipment that help in the smooth running of the facility. The aim of this research is to maximize day-lighting in the facility which helps lower the energy demands of the facility and also helps to illuminate spaces through the use of transparent materials that gives visual control, thereby bringing natural light and help to connect indoor and outdoor spaces which enhances users experience in the facility. The research methodology employed was qualitative analysis, entailing the gathering of information from both primary and secondary sources. As a result, the research successfully integrated day-lighting systems into the design of an Aquatic Center to enhance users experience in the facility which will help boost the social and economic status of the community and state.
