a mystery

Why is this here?



(poor picture quality courtesy of my cameraphone)
It's a door (or perhaps a very large window) in the side of the library here at SRC. It goes, literally, nowhere - it's about a story above local ground level. Is it a very large window? A door to a balcony that never got installed? Just an architectural quirk?

The best guess I can make is that there used to be a deck there, and that's why there's a sliding door. Alternatively, they might have just thought it'd be cool to have such a huge window to get ridiculous airflow. I found it very nice when that used to be my study-spot in Fall of 2002.
