Bad Design

A Little Bit of Confusion

One of the confusing things I have found here in the school is the location of the appliance controls or switches prior to the corresponding unit.

In the image above the switch is for a ceiling fan at the third floor of O’Brien Library. The problem is it is far enough from the unit that it is almost unrelated to the unit or perhaps unnoticeable. The best solution is, the unit must be located at the point nearest to the switch.

This switch for another fan is difficult to find if you are standing at the left side of the air conditioner. It will be out of sight if you are right below the fan. To fix it, there should be a sign indicating where the switch is if putting the switch itself to the most visible area makes it unreachable.
