ABSTRACT
The furtherance of Sports in tertiary institutions in the Nigerian Scenario currently faces major challenges. The primary purpose of university sports is gradually lost as fewer institutions get to participate or host as the years go by. The Rivers state University is one of these institutions facing such challenges despite its existence as one of the oldest universities in the region, with a large student population. The need to re-awaken student interests in sports has become prominent and infrastructure has been identified as responsible for the shortfall. This research project examines the situation in the Nigerian context. It considers the sustainability dimensions in a bid to provide a practicable solution to this daunting concern. The impact of sports on sustaining student performance and improved well-being has also been considered. Ultimately, the research has culminated in the design of a modern sports complex for the Rivers State University which could be adopted in other institutions with similar challenges.
