I've put together a few hardware lab spaces, and in doing so have realized that one can never predict how people are going to use a space. Features you though were useful, layouts that are clean and efficient, a lot goes out the window when the designed space evolves into a space-in-use. I'm sure professional designers get things closer to "correct" than I do, but I can see why they might chafe at seeing their creations "misused." To quote one of Akin's Laws of Spacecraft Design: "Your best design efforts will inevitably wind up being useless in the final design. Learn to live with the disappointment."
