Coming from a small liberal arts college in the Bahamas, I see anything that eliminate the need to walk across vast stretches of unused land a blessing. So imagine what a lovely surprise I get when I find out that Emily Carr has an ELEVATOR. It's pretty nifty, right? A small school such as this, has provided an elevator for its students/faculty/guests can use to get to the second floor. A perfect thing for the heavily-burdened or slight lazy amongst us.
Imagine my horror, though, when I see the interior of this elevator. In short, it looks horrid. For the purpose of carrying largepieces of delecate work, the padding on the elevator walls makes sense. It's smart. Visually, though? It's REPULSIVE! And THIS is what was up when the focus of the Cultural Olympiad shone upon the school? Is that what our guests saw venturing upstairs?
We really don't have enough money to make sure aesthetics and functionality can get along??

It's amazing what a fresh coat of paint will do.
firstly- hi familiar name! *waves*
secondly, it wasn't even like it needed to be painted or anything. i just wish that in there didn't have to LOOK so decrepit with that lining along the inside. there are ways to have in there look pleasing enough and still serve a purpose. for an art university of all places, they failed miserably IMO.
but as my peers later pointed out, my wording of my critique painted me in a bad light XD so i shall attack the elevator at a later date- mark my words! *shakes tiny fist*
