While Allen Hall's interior design is very confusing (I find it difficult to locate my advisor every time I go here), I do believe there is actually some merit to the exterior design. The doors are not inviting, and there is not a particular set of doors that seems to be the main doorway. This, however, is actually the genius behind its design! The architect knew that with Allen Hall's purpose, it would be a location where many students would be entering and exiting constantly. By creating many doorways with none of them being more alluring than any other, it splits up the traffic so that none of the doorways are ever too crowded.
