Checked out the new city hall annex blueprints on display downtown

The floor plan layout for the mechanical room is a total mess, with ductwork clashing with structural beams in like five spots. Has anyone else had to fix a clash detection nightmare this bad from an architect's first pass?

Yeah, @the_fiona is right to be surprised. You see it all the time now. Last month we had a set where the plumbing stack ran straight through a main electrical panel location on three separate floors. It's basic stuff. Makes you wonder if anyone even opens the structural drawings before they send out the first round.

Used to think architects had it all figured out. Not anymore.

Wait, how does that even get past the first draft?
