Building in Carleton University campus with a great studying environment.

Have you ever wanted to be an adventurer, charting new paths through undiscovered lands, encountering danger, and unearthing ancient relics? That's the experience you get with Loeb. The other reviewers have already covered how difficult it is to navigate, but I feel the need to say it again: Loeb is DIFFICULT to ... navigate. One moment you're in the tunnels, the next moment you're on the 5th floor of a building with offices supporting a faculty you've never even heard of, the next moment you've walked outside into a scene that looks straight out of Half Life. When you're bored it's fantastic, but when you actually need to get to class, not so much. Speaking of class, the lecture halls. They're underground and feel claustrophobic, they're dirty (or at least dusty), the chalkboards all make those awful sounds when you move them, lights have often not been replaced, and most of the tables are broken and chairs are falling apart. The viewing angles are alright, though. On the subject of falling apart, Loeb is falling apart. Every time I walk past, more bricks have fallen out of the wall above the main entrance. Last time I was there, they fenced off the whole area to prevent people from getting hit on the head by falling bricks. Loeb has lost almost enough bricks to build a whole 5th Loeb building. But my dislike of Loeb transcends my review so far. While it is no fault of the building itself, the engineering faculty has a habit of putting back-to-back-to-back classes in Loeb/Southam, 5th Minto, and back to Loeb/Southam, so my review may be biased heavily against Loeb. That said, I hope you get the chance to explore the dungeon and avoid the falling bricks yourselves while running to desperately find your class that you're already late for, it's truly an experience that no other building at Carleton can offer.

This is the most confusing building ever made, the architects deserve to be fired 100 times over, although they're already long retired and laughing.

Loeb cafe is greasy as hell but the Loeb building is a labyrinth. Always a place to sit and work and now there is some 3 million dollar chill place with uncomfortable chairs.

This place is a genuine maze. the design makes absolutely no sense! Its impossible to navigate/ find the classroom you're looking for!!! The only redeeming part of building is the loeb cafe. Also, there are bats which you wouldn't expect on campus.
