Baruch College has a student body of over 17,000, and with this many students, vertical movement becomes an important issue. Therefore, overcrowding in elevators is a common problem. What makes this problem worse are the outdated elevators in the Lawrence and Eris Field building. In between class times, the lines in the lobby are so outrageous that the security guards have to spend time delegating and maintaining the flow of traffic. Instead of focusing on their primary responsibility of ensuring the safety and well-being of students and faculty, they must become traffic officers. This issue wastes the precious time that the students have, thus impacting the efficiency of the students’ education.
