I had a similar experience in a 5 story office building, computers everywhere, all anyone did was sit and work at them, rows of 'em. And all fluoresant lighting too.
The problem we also ran into were the old VT220 terminal rooms. Rows and rows of dumb terminals connecting to terminal servers for text only email......
Once the funds and technology were available the rows and rows of dumb terminals were replaced w/ high speed pentiums and nobody bothered with the existing three wire distributed circuits they were fed from. Shortly thereafter the smell of smoke and burning wires was ever present and the labs all had to be rewired.
Same thing occured with the electronic ballast retrofits all over campus.
Keeps us busy.....no complaints here.
