I could rant for ages about the Life Sciences building they built while I was in my old job. The architects were only bothered about it looking great from the outside, those of us who had to work in it day in, day out were rather more bothered about
- no opening external windows except in the PIs offices
- air conditioning so dry we regularly got electrocuted by static
- the kitchen being in a bookable meeting room
- the additional tea making stations not being allowed kettles because they were open plan to corridors
- the toilets being individual rooms off the main thoroughfare to the stairs with no ventilation except a vent in the door on to said busy corridor
- non height adjustable desks for people who worked at computers all day

And we had to fight for months to be allowed desk chairs with proper support because some idiot decided the bog standard lab chairs were fine for folks who would be sitting on them all day.

Which is a very angry and long winded way of saying, I hear you, solidarity!
