The academic offices in Ridgley comprise a far less attractive area of the building than the Holmes Lounge section. With low ceilings and cramped dark hallways, the contrast to the attractive, well-lit, high-ceilinged Holmes lounge is almost amusing.

There are four bathrooms on the third floor of Ridgley. The women's room next to room 326 - while similar to the nearby men's room - is distinctly different from its counterpart in some ways. While both of them feature coloring reminicent of the 1970s, the women's room is as pointlessly spacious as the men's room is uncomfortably claustrophobic.

The facilities are acceptable, with decent sinks and ample feminine product availability. This bathroom - though inferior to the "Holmes Lounge" bathrooms - is certainly acceptable (if one finds themselves to be in the area).
