A100 - Group Computer Lab
Clear glass door student room. Signs posted on glass partitions. This is a high traffic area and there are often lots of people moving in and out of the room

Leaves a paper note on the door announcing absence. This door is also all glass, and the situation of the desk inside is such that the person can see out the glass door - although you have to peek in at an angle to see if they are in.

There is a note on the right portion of the door that says, "Please let me know when you come in..." This was written by a visitor to his office. The rest is a standard whiteboard with pushpins and note the pen with a string taped to it so no one can easily walk off with the pen.

One of the less informative, but more entertaining awareness notes.

This door was in a crowded corridor that was very tight and had several rooms around it. The door was across from the copy machine and mailboxes. It appeared to be a very active person (or central) and looked to be the primary spot in the hallway for information dissemination. There is a notepad attached to the door, a drop box, a note posted to the drop box saying that Betsy is on vacation. There is also a list of the hours posted on the door below the drop box.
Wean Hall
1300 Corridor
Storage bin that is placed between two doors. It wasn't clear which lab or office this belonged to. Notice that the drop boxes aren't necessarily the right size as several larger items have been placed on top rendering the traditional 8 1/2 x 11 bins somewhat useless. This hallway has very little traffic and the majority of the people appeared to be behind closed doors.

This is a lab that had information on emergencies and security posted on the door. Most of the information is redundant between the two postings except for one of the numbers. Also notice that the glass on the door has been completely pasted over with papers so that nobody can see in -- or out!

Jobs listing posted on the door. Paper used to block off the glass window (this appears to be a common thing among doors examined in this run).

Drop box using a paper envelope for collecting information. This door also covered the glass with images to prevent people from seeing in (this happened in both Wean and Purnell Center).

Second picture of the same door. This was a syllabus that was posted on the door and had penciled in notes on changes to the performers, etc. throughout the semester.

This was an interesting adjustment to the glass covering. From straight on it is difficult to see in the room, but instead portrays a pastel image on some mesh fabric.

Personalization in a collage fashion of the door front. This provides little more than an indication of who uses the space and provides an interesting collage of images that are either important or unique to the inhabitants.
