DON'T BE STUPID!

N.B: This is in no way a comment on any person, present or past, who has every worked as or for the Dean of the School of Architecture and Allied Arts at the University of Oregon. This image has been placed here to demonstrate to architecture students the importance providing vertical transport, in the form of elevators, at or near the main entrance of a building. In the example in the AAA Dean's Office shown above, what appears to be a round white column is in fact the hydraulic piston of an elevator added in the 1990's. It was designed at the right horizontal location but it only served upper floors, which is (to be blunt) stupid. If you still don't get it, send me a note and we'll talk about it sometime.
