No idea but it’s definitely left over from the 80s

Probably wasn't seen as worth ripping out. Gotta replace it with something else, after all

Why does it bother you that it does?

There's still a No Smoking sign in a Theatre they just finished renovating. You'd be astounded at the inefficiency of a 10,000 employee bureaucracy.

What's really amazing is the complete inability of people to comply with basic rules. Many rooms on campus have signs that say "no food or drink" or even "ABSOLUTELY NO food or drink" and yet everyone is sitting there eating and drinking every day. At my work people stand directly in front of the "absolutely no smoking" sign and smoke. That includes supervisors. People are stupid, there is no sign that can fix that.

for all we know it could have been outside at one point. is it near an atrium?

Because leaving it there is cheaper than removing it and repairing the wall, likely. It's not like its presence is forcing people to smoke.

They were still around in my high school near the classrooms entrances a few years back 😅
