Sounds more like a mechanical engineer fail, but the architect should have caught it. I have a building under construction right now. The engineer had designed the restroom exhaust fan to vent right at the front door. Fortunately, I did catch that one.
The lovely garden area at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital would be a nice place to sit and eat lunch except it has BR fume vents blowing right next to the benches. Foul odors abound every few minutes.
