Campus & facility
The Broad Street heritage campus in central Lagos Island. Facilities include academic blocks, science laboratories, a Methodist chapel, assembly hall, library, and sports facilities. Day-only. Compact urban site typical of central Lagos Island heritage buildings.
The Broad Street heritage campus is a compact urban site in central Lagos Island. The original 1878 Methodist chapel building was rebuilt in 1932 and again in 1962, but the current chapel structure preserves the original altar and pulpit. Facilities are urban-heritage in character: academic blocks organised across a compact plot, science laboratories, the chapel, an assembly hall (~250-seat), a library with a small heritage collection dating from the early 20th century, a computer laboratory, and outdoor sports areas (a small football pitch and basketball court). The Marina access route means daily pickup involves Lagos Island traffic; the school runs buses from Ikoyi, VI, and select Mainland routes. Power on Eko Electric grid with 80KVA generator backup. Water from LSWC pipe.
