The way they are set up now is really awkward because the doors of the washers and the dryers open into each other – thus making it impossible to transfer clothing easily from the washers to the dryers.  Alternatively, I wonder if there is a way to switch the doors of both to the other side; that would make it much easier.

I guess that patience is the only option. (Is this a sign of the poor state of American manufacturing? I have no idea, but it does cause frustration, I know.)

The only wall that could work is the one where the washing machines are now positioned. But to move the dryers adjacent to them might be quite costly, since a new gas line would have to be run overhead from one side of the room to the other. We are waiting for an estimate for this. When we get the estimate, the trustees will need to confer and probably we will poll the owners to see how they feel. The change would probably make the room nicer to use—but is it worth the money?
