If you are a drama or theater student you may be very happy and content with this place, however there are also several classrooms here for academic classes; halls and halls of them! I have 2 philosophy classes and an English class in this building.
The good points:
The elevators all work without any problems.
The staircases are sturdy.
There's an Interfaith Chapel of sorts.
There's a café to get Starbucks, and a number of other things.
There's plenty of vending machines that dispense beverages.
The downsides:
The floors are bare cement with cracks running all through them.
The water fountains do not always work, so if the temperature shoots up very high, you could pass out trying to get any water. (Been there, almost passed out before class)
If the water fountains do work it's very poor quality, low water pressure, and not very sanitary. You are forced to put your lips on the spicket n suck the water out if ur desperate for water in the heat.
If you happen to be female, the restrooms are in poor conditions. Is it because we're women? Is it because it's generally a building intended for drama n theater and some sort of snide disregard for such persons? That I know not...
However, the stalls of the restrooms have broken hooks on them. If one were worried or concerned about sanitary conditions this is not such a place. So, if one needed to hand up bags to avoid the constant urine being spilled all over the seats and floor, you are screwed. Well, you could leave your belongings outside of the stall for thieves to rifle through while you are doing your business.
Isn't that a violation of some regulation somehow?
Add onto that the even worse conditions for a handicapped women. If you are handicapped and need that handicapped stall, you won't get any privacy at all because the lock is more than broken, it's missing. Oh well! Sad day for you ladies!
How utterly cruel!
Mind you, this is 2016, in the USA; a national which last century was known for its high standard of living conditions.
However, today, we see the decay of our institutions in shambles and poor substandard conditions.
Whoa unto the younger generations whom grow up with such poor conditions, for which they as out of pocket for, as their standard.
On another note, if one likes vintage things, the desks here appear to still be sturdy and probably made in the 20th Century. Wow! They don't make 'me like they used to! read more
