In my time in school, I have noticed that the way that lockers are set up is not efficient. There are too many people and too little space for everyone to access their things at the same time. I have narrowed the problem down to two things: space and time. First of all school lockers are usually found in huge clumps.

This doesn't leave much area per locker for students. It would be much easier if they were grouped in smaller clumps.
The other problem is time. Most students use a number combination lock on their locker, which can be frustrating and time consuming to open. This makes it more difficult for students to quickly open their locker and move out of the way.
My solution is to group lockers in clumps that are not against a wall, for example, this group of 16. Each set of 4 lockers faces a different direction.
Also, to save time, students should use these Master locks which use four arrows instead of numbers.

All of this will save time for students trying to get to class.
