An interesting find: a scale model of the Voorhees Computing Center (the building we are in now). Typically, things on the floor should not reach the ceiling like that. (From RPI Network Infrastructure Tour)

There are of course some other things that I like about this bathroom -- note that there are two paper towel dispensers, which is far more than adequate for a bathroom this size (two urinals, two toilets, two sinks). Also, each paper towel dispenser's functionality is supported by dual wastepaper baskets, conveniently located underneath the dispensers. But finally, my favorite part of this bathroom -- the coathooks located on the reverse side of the door, in case you need to hang up your jacket while you use either paper towel dispenser!

The original architecture still shows though, as we can see that the urinals awkwardly straddle a support beam. This is actually quite interesting though, because the beam serves not only to support the structure above, but also provides privacy to those urinating in this otherwise serene bathroom.

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. (From RPI Bathroom Review)
