I Saw the Sign

This sign is found in the main library at my university. Built in the days of students riots, the library was specifically designed to be ridiculously confusing, as was the student center. While I'm all for preventing hordes of students swarming and taking down authority (... hmm, or am I...?) clearly this is a little too much. You know it's bad when you need a sign to show you where something as commonly found as an elevator is.
I'm not really sure how this could be improved beyond reconstructing the whole building. In a way it can be nice that the building is so convoluted: its always easy to find a quiet place to study that nobody else has found. It just might be hard to find your way out again...

Also, on a side note: as students we're really really good at ignoring all the 8 by 11" signs that are posted all over campus telling us to do a million random things. Luckily this guy is on a blank wall, otherwise nobody would ever notice.
