Looks like the college's everyday utilitarian usage allows for too lazy an eye and a relaxation of respect by those daily privileged to perambulate without a second thought within exquisite designed corridors and halls failed to see that an electric switch needed to be turned off ...

oops! Is that smoke i smell?
If the building had been looked after and not used as a kicking post, it would still be here.
