Ah. This one kitchen was meant to serve eighty dorm rooms, of which 90% were doubles. Even serving my conscientious dorm (1 sink, 20 rooms, no space to dry dishes because someone else got there first, even at 4AM), it didn't see much use.
The lack of microwave capacity is a bummer. That and the kettle combined are surprisingly versatile for food prep. (Adding in a toaster-oven would complete the set nearly, but those definitely draw too much power.)
