Annual Bad Design Atlanta Competition

Turn your frustrations into cash!

– Can’t figure out whether to push or pull the doors open in Clough?
– Why do the University House exterior stairs cut off before they reach the top?
– Why are the Woodruff shower handles backwards so you always burn or freeze yourself?
– Which Peachtree is the right Peachtree to get where you’re going?

Here’s your chance to vent about all those annoying and poorly designed nuisances you encounter in your daily life. You might even win money with your choice of bad design!
