Nicholson Hall Confusion?

Nicholson Hall Confusion :S

Now you may be thinking to yourself, how could Nicholson Hall be confusing, it's quite possibly one of the easiest buildings on campus to navigate... or so it was. About two weeks before classes started, I found myseld heading over to Nicholson Hall to pay a visit to TSG when I noticed new signage posted at each classroom door. At first I thought it was just a nicer colour scheme, but a second look told me otherwise. The classroom numbers, as I had come to know, had changed! Prior to the re-numbering, Nicholson had a very simple numbering system in place. The basement floor numbers had a "b" before them, the main floor numbers were in the 10's, and the top floor numbers were in the 100's. I continued to walk the basement floor and noticed that all the numbers were now in the 100's range, which transferred into 200's on the main floor, and 300's on the top floor. Now, I may be wrong, but I've never come across a basement level being considered level 1, but that's just me. I continued on to TSG thinking nothing more of the new numbers. Now, it's September, heading in to my first day of classes with my schedule in hand. Now surely the numbering systems has also been updates on our schedules... right? Wrong, the numbers on student schedules still correspond to the old numbering system. Confusing? just slightly, although they did have staff on hand passing out maps, and pointing people in the right direction. And yes, for once you did need a map to find your way around Nicholson Hall. Time has passed, it's now October, and numbers have been replaced by memorization. It just goes to show you how minor changes can make a big impact. Thanks for reading, and keep an eye out for my next post.
