Temple Buell Hall, a building at the University of Illinois, has a Southern stairwell and a Western stairwell that overheat majority of the time. This is a disadvantage to me because I am very sensitive to extreme temperature changes. When I go from hot to cold weather, I have a tendency to faint. Another way it is a disadvantage is at night. Well leaving down the western stair that is close to the parking lot, I am visible to strangers outside. They can watch me descend down the stairs from far away and they could have time to approach me as I head for my car. Since the university has had recent problems with assault, this makes me wary of those stairs at night.
