The built environment is the collection of environments that humans have constructed including cars, roads, public transport facilities and other human-built spaces. All human transactions, interactions, relationship and communications take place within the built environment. Similarly, all phenomena that affect humans, e.g. accidents, disasters, sickness, and diseases are transmitted through the medium of the built environment. When Covid-19 pandemic which originated in Wuhan China in 2019 broke out, it ravaged and overwhelmed the global population because the built environment are potential transmission vectors for the spread of Covid-19. All the covid-19 protocols and strategies aimed at containing the spread and transmission of the virus are issues relating to the built environment. Quarantining, social distancing, sanitizing, even the medium of transmission such as ventilation, air quality, air circulation, air supply mechanism are all matters of the built environment. There is certainly some nexus between built environment and the Covid-19 pandemic in which the pandemic must have a tremendous impact on the built environment. It is on this note, that this research paper seeks to investigate and identify through the gathering of important information on the impact of Covid-19 pandemic on the built environment.
