The Science Half of the Clendenin Building

★★★★★
Clendenin Building on the Campus
of Kennesaw State
Previously on The Gentlemen's Almanac to KSU, bad graffiti, filth, and burnt orange counter tops led to a 2/5 rating for the Math half of the Clandenin Building. The Science half however made the math half look like an amateur. The Science half has bathrooms down to scientific greatness. I'm really bad about puns.. Let's dive in.
The Science half of the Clendenin building starts with a bang with a private unisex bathroom on each floor, as well as a regular bathroom for a total of 6 bathrooms (3 regular & 3 private). Because there are so many the traffic is low receiving a rating of 5/5. All of the bathrooms were clean and new with automatic sinks, hand dryers, and toilets. Cleanliness rating 4/5, and Atmosphere rating of 5/5. No graffiti and no glory. By far the best bathrooms yet to be reviewed and really only has one building to worry about, but that'll come later. The only downside to these bathrooms is that, unless you are a science major you never go to the Clendenin Building. It's the building furthest away from everything except University Place, and the best bathroom in the building is on the top floor.
However inconvenient the placement may be, if you are looking for the best bathroom on KSU's campus the Science half of the Clendenin Building definitely has to be on the short list. Overall rating is 5/5. Go here for peace and serenity, and an all around great bathroom experience.

The Math Half of the Clendenin Building

★★☆☆☆

I don't know if you've ever been in the Clendenin Building but it encompasses both the Math and Science departments. AKA it is a big A building (pardon my letters). Due to the fact that the building is really made up of two buildings Joel N. and I have decided to separate the two buildings into their own ratings. So let's focus on some math.
The Math building features a measly three bathrooms. This number is just far too low and increases the amount of traffic significantly. Traffic rating of 2/5. The bathrooms were newer on the other hand featuring nice burnt orange counters and automatic soap dispensers. I know burnt orange counter tops sound awful, but give 'em a chance. Atmosphere rating is 4/5. That being said the only automatic amenities in this building are the soap dispensers and you have to use paper towels to dry your hands. These bathrooms also had the user in mind with incredibly private bathrooms. Not a lot of space between the door on the stalls, and adequate dividers between the urinals make you feel almost at home. Privacy rating is 4/5.  The bathrooms weren't clean. They were bad. Cleanliness rating 2/5. These bathrooms are not filled with glory, but there was some graffiti. Not the kind of graffiti that makes you chuckle because deep down inside you still think like a middle school boy, but the kind that makes you thankful that there is a toilet next to you so that you don't have to go too far to puke. Graffiti rating 1/5 for vulgar graffiti.
Overall the Math half of the Clendenin Building is not great. Overall rating of 2/5. If you're already there, go for it, but don't waste your time walking to that building for the bathrooms, or classes really.. nobody really likes math. Just sayin'.
