This is the Activity Office at a local high school in the Minneapolis area. I’m surprised no English teachers have complained yet.
Ouch — abuse hurts so much more when it’s at an educational facility!

I don’t see anything wrong with it. It’s where the activities make administrative decisions.

Maybe it could be short for “Activities Department’s Office?”
If I had to pass it every day, I think I’d tell myself that’s what it meant, just to maintain my sanity.
