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?

at RIT, before it was renovated, ellingson lounges had old balcony doors that were glued shut. the whole story of someone jumping off a balcony tied between two mattresses is supposedly the reason they got rid of balconies.

we actually got our door open my first year. on the 11th floor. leading straight down. great idea, huh?
