RPI Bathroom Review

The mirrors have a slightly downward tilt, which I find to be quite peculiar. This bathroom also has lever operated valves on its sinks, which I prefer to the knob valves in most other on-campus bathrooms. I do not particularly like this bathroom, as it has lived beyond its usefulness.

Next: Originally built in 1933, the Voorhees Computing Center originally housed the religious services offered at RPI. In 1958, Rensselaer acquired the property and renovated the classic gothic structure to serve as a library. Then, in 1979, Alan M. Voorhees donated $3.4M to fund the renovation that turned the VCC into what we know is as today -- one of the most unique looking computer centers in the world. The bathrooms in the VCC do not match the gothic decor that adorns the rest of the building.

Previous: A look at the urinals also suggests that this bathroom is quite old. These urinals are fairly low to the ground and have very large bowls. This is consistent with design of bathrooms in the 40s and 50s.
