This paper explores post occupancy evaluation (POE) strategies with regard to performance of university buildings in Algeria. Essential methods of post-occupancy evaluations are reviewed. Implementation of broad principles of POE in the specific context of university facilities was applied. It endeavours to underline how post occupancy evaluation strategies can assist central government and local authorities in the higher education sector to respond to the challenge of developing a better built environment. Finally, key findings through a field work are presented.
Last but not least, it aspires to hand over the capacity to provide consistent 'evidence based' information to be incorporated into design guidelines, and inform future higher education facility decisions makers. Arguably tough, the potential as well as the limitations of the scope will require further exploration in use.

Abstract
This paper explores post occupancy evaluation (POE) strategies with regard to performance of university buildings in Algeria. Essential methods of post-occupancy evaluations are reviewed. Implementation of broad principles of POE in the specific context of university facilities was applied. It endeavours to underline how post occupancy evaluation strategies can assist central government and local authorities in the higher education sector to respond to the challenge of developing a better built environment. Finally, key findings through a field work are presented.
Last but not least, it aspires to hand over the capacity to provide consistent 'evidence based' information to be incorporated into design guidelines, and inform future higher education facility decisions makers. Arguably tough, the potential as well as the limitations of the scope will require further exploration in use.
Author Keywords: Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE), Feed Back, Assessment, University Facilities, Building performance.
