Fresh Coats, Fresh Vibes: OAU’s Faculty of Science Building Undergoes Facelift

By Omotoso GodsDelight

As students of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, return to campus for the Rain semester, one thing stands out at the Faculty of Science — a fresher, cleaner, and more vibrant appearance.

The faculty, popularly known as the White House for its longstanding white-themed structure, renowned for its busy lecture halls and long corridors filled with academic hustle, is currently undergoing a repainting exercise. The project, which began shortly before resumption, has brought a wave of visual refreshment to the area. Cream-colored walls, neater finishes, and a cleaner atmosphere replace the once dull and faded appearance.

"It has added to the school's beauty, making it look more like the real White House," said Favour, a 200-level Chemistry student.

Interestingly, the repainting has not disrupted classes, as lecture halls remain open and entirely in use. This has allowed academic activities to continue seamlessly while students and staff enjoy the gradual transformation around them.

Pelumi, a 200-level Engineering Physics student, said, "The repainting makes the building look more attractive and well-maintained. It helps the building regain its original identity — just like the name implies, White House."

Although the repainting is not a full-scale renovation, students still appreciate the effort. For many, it signals an attempt by the university to improve the learning environment — something they believe has been neglected in recent years.

"The facelift is good and nice," but in Biological Sciences, the colour white is a bit too much because it gets dirty easily, especially since students go there to attend classes and read. Even though the original colour of the building was white, I expected them to change it. But all in all, it was good," said Samuel, a 200-level Microbiology student.

Though no official communication has been released regarding the project's scope or how long it will last, there is growing curiosity about whether other faculties will receive a similar facelift.

The Faculty of Science is one of the largest and most active on campus, housing departments such as Chemistry, Physics, Microbiology, and others. The repainting, modest as it may seem, adds a splash of colour to the daily lives of students and lecturers within the faculty.

As the semester wears on, students hope the repainting isn't just a one-time touch-up but a sign of consistent maintenance and infrastructural upgrades.
