Twas ever thus. The chapter on ventilation and building design in the soon-to-be-published 4th Edition of the Artist's Complete Health & Safety Guide starts this way:
In 1977, Architect Walter Netsch was attending a dedication of the school he designed for the Art Institute of Chicago. This brand new building already had ventilation problems, cracking floors, and other issues. The students confronted him on a stairway during a walk through of the facility. They asked him about some of these things and most specifically they asked what on earth he was thinking when he put a skylight in the photographic darkroom.
Netsch replied: "I didn't build a school of art. I built a sculpture in Grant Park." And then he walked away.

Oh man, did
you ever get that right (not that I am surprised). The project
manager or whatever his title was at the time sat in meeting
with the chemistry faculty at the time and said that they were
designing for street appeal and not function - I heard him say
it. This was over the fact that they wanted all these angles in
the facade which cost tons of extra money (hence no freight
elevator) and columns in the most inconvenient places in rooms.
We wanted a building with nice rectangular hallways and more
space.
