There is a grill in the one door to the archives, but part of the ceiling is “glassed in” with plastic and there’s a huge gap where the air duct (which I don’t think is operational) was placed.
Oh, and did I mention the portion that’s “glassed in” was a retro-fit for the 3+ foot wide open space to the third floor that wraps around the entire building?
