Abstract: Delta South in Delta State, Nigeria, still grapples and lacks in connecting with the rest of the world when it comes to the advancement in technology and telecommunications. At the turn of the century, the European and the Western civilization came with them, education and the introduction of libraries in Nigeria. Virtually all the major cities in Nigeria benefited, and after the Nigerian civil war, most of the libraries started varnishing and the remaining ones were poorly managed and in total disrepair. Now, with the advancement in technology, they cannot connect with the rest of the world because they lacked E-Library/ICT centers. The disciplinary area of focus in this work is architecture as such; the authors adopted content base analysis and looked into previous studies done in the subject matter by different authors. This sentiment holds true in the context of designing spaces dedicated to information access and technology. The functional spaces must include a diverse range of activities, from quiet individual study to collaborative group workstations. Nigeria in all ramifications, is growing socially and economically although, not to the rate appealed to the growing population of the country. For the growth to be sustainable, this research recommends inclusive E-Library/ICT centers that will serve as models for subsequent efforts with related interest in the field of study and for policy makers.
