At the Lebanon Valley College, Vickroy Residence Hall dorms have normal size closets. But the closets have a wall blocking half of the closet and allowing a very small space for residence to occupy. I noticed this problem right away because in my dorm, I don't have more space and room for my closet. Why would the residence from Vickroy have to deal with less space? I couldn't find the answer of this question, that is why I think it was a bad design and the wall was not usable.



As you can see in the picture, the closet door is very small and the wall to the right is blocking half of the closet. This design fails mostly the conceptual model of a closet because the closet does not provide a coherent system image of how a closet should look like. In fact, the wall has no purpose for being built and so I believe that the wall fails all of the seven principles of design.

A solution to fixing this bad design would be eliminating the wall to the right, as well as the wall at the top. The top wall is also blocking space from reaching the top shelf. With this simple solution, the residence of Vicroy would have more space in their dorm and easy way to get things in and out of the closet.
