You lucky dog! Send pics!!!!!!
Why? Was it one of yours?
Here is a 360 degree Panorama which manages to make it look really nice... my building is in the centre, the one opposite me (and the cherry tree) are on the left (and right!)
Actually our building (and the one opposite) would have been better if they'd left the original wooden fittings and furniture much of which was constructed by the Swan Hunter shipyards during a lull in normal business (as I write I am sitting in one of the low armchairs which I rescued from a skip and took home...) - as a whole it had some integrity - despite the absolutely useless windows and ability to be boiling in summer and freezing in winter on one side of the building and the opposite on the other.
Plus the buildings appear to have been designed by someone who seemed to want people to feel lost and unwanted, and because they almost fell down a few years after they were built, they had to have extra steel beams put in to hold them together which means they had to construct extra stairs over the beams, which now makes them totally inconvenient for disabled people... no, I'm sorry there's not a lot to be said for them.
Funnily enough the architecture side of the department seem to be quite happy in the lovely Victorian quad and would prefer to leave the 60s stuff to us...
