Art Building

The art building. A place that supposedly harbors the creative students of campus. You'd think the creative minds would require a place more suited to enhancing the vibes of creation. Or maybe this is a foreshadowing of the type of life an artist will live. Dark, dank and forlorn...





















Grammar isn't their best subject. Or maybe it's a style to be "different"....










This is on an elevator down button. Seems to be the typical mindset of artists...

Bathrooms - Unexpected

Just in case you're up on the roof and can't make it down the stairs to reach one...

Sign

If anything gets in your way, you are forbidden to ride it. You got it? None of this.

Dust

It's everywhere. It's not something you can simply pick up and throw in the trash. A task that seems mundane but it most effective when dealing with dust, is vacuuming. Warning in advance though, if you haven't vacuumed for an extended period of time...the office in the Film Studies department is one such room that should come with a warning sign. The office looks fairly clean, with it's industrial blue carpet. As I began to vacuum the office, small puffs of dust came from the floor, proving that the room was not as clean as it looked. So much dust had accumulated, that each puff of dust was enough to reach my nose from the floor. Note to all those with carpet: Vacuum often, even when it doesn't look dirty. Unless you like sneezing, then you'll want to collect all the dust you can get! Don't worry, it's not hard to find and it doesn't take long. Where does dust come from anyway? It's not just dirt...what is it?

"We're Saving Money"

Two offices in the Film Studies are connected to the same circuit. Between the two rooms are the following units requiring electricity: Three computers, a printer, a copier, a fax machine, lights on the ceiling, a refrigerator and a microwave. So many appliances to one circuit equals: Run the microwave and the copier at the same time, you lose all power.

Bathrooms - The Student Union

If you travel to the basement, you will discover a small room at the back. Here are the fixtures of complete modernism. How can a sink, soap and drying be improved? By stuffing them all into one fixture. When you insert your hands into the hole in the wall, a portion of soap is distributed to your palms. Immediately after, water comes out. When the water shuts off, a dryer fires up. Convenient? Sure. And space saving, as well as decreasing waste of paper towels. But personal experience is as follows:
Shock, then glee at a new toy. Reading of instructions that are posted above each "sink". Inserting of hands into hole. Finding soap on hands, trying to rub it in, but water starts immediately washing the soap from hands before it does any good. The water came out quite forcefully, as to leave water all over my front. Removal of hands from near scalding water. Irritation at the continuing hot water, long after soap was removed. Finally, water shut off, and dryer started. Hot air dried hands quickly. Removal of hands and insertion of shirt to dry off. Utter amazement at such an absurd contraption, yet satisfaction at successfully navigating the new way to wash your hands.

Bathrooms

Here begins a new series of in depth description of the campus restrooms. I must clarify that this observation is from the female point of view exclusively.

First of all, an overall observation of the bathrooms on campus. Each building is unique, and in turn have inspired unique rooms with toilets. It also depends on where in the building you choose to enter.
