What you're describing reminds me a lot of Padelford Hall at University of Washington, another product of the late 60s.

(http://www.washington.edu/alumni/columns/june07/content/view...)

It was awful, actually several "wings" in one building. It was possible to get locked out of the building on a walkway between two wings, with no other exits. You would sometimes have to go through one person's office to get to another office.

The theory when I was a student there was that university construction in the late 60s was obsessed with dealing with civil unrest - psych buildings with riot-proof windows, admin buildings with confusing layouts, an open square covered in bricks that get slippery when hosed down, etc.
