University of Texas (2009)
In mid-January, I attended an academic conference at the University of Texas-Austin. The last time I was in Austin, five years ago, I took pictures mainly of the downtown/capitol area, rather than the campus.
This time, I focused more on the campus, including the famous Texas Tower (shown at right).
Given the location of the conference in the Seay Building (which houses psychology and other social science disciplines) in the northwest corner of campus, my pictures are concentrated in this area. The next three photos show the Seay Building from different perspectives, including the garden in the center of the complex...
A building across the street from Seay that attracted my attention is Neural Molecular Science.
Finally, I took a picture of the UT bookstore (the Co-op) on Guadalupe, which appears to be the "main drag" of the campus area.
