Computer Lab
My University has a computer lab, comprised of approximately thirty machines. Old does not come close to describing these machines, they don't even have USB ports, and most can't open pdf files. Loading the simplest of graphics takes minutes, and searching for Magazine articles is frustrating work. Also, the room is ridiculously hot, even in the dead of winter.
Here we have the door into the computer lab. No, Danielle is not a giant, and no, this is not a trick or weird angle. That is indeed a minidoor. You have to bend in half and walk down to get through the door frame, then there is a little staircase leading further down into the actual room. So when you're inside, the bottom of the door is about waist level. This is the top floor of our university, which used to be a monastery. Apparently the Monks took the phrase "leap of faith" literally, and preferred to have a three foot drop when entering rooms.
Here's a picture of the entrance to the computer lab, which reminds me very much of the speech and debate room at UCLA.
And here's me using the computers :P
