Tour of the new cosmology building with the academic I liaise with over there.
Very nice. Although half the height of the six storey building they've vacated which seems to me to take them further from their subject matter...
Particularly nice were the offices on one side of the three storey building with a balcony. Probably big enough to park a small telescope on although I didn't see any in evidence.
I was amused by at least two whiteboards in a row that looked like something straight out of Big Bang Theory. Which would make sense of course because the BBT guys are mocking the types who live up there.
Two frustrations of the new build: security access involving having to swipe through just to go to the john; a long 'ramp' (with rails) right through the middle of a not overly large staff room to allow disabled access to the balcony. (Apparently they forgot to put the provision in originally and were made to do it subsequently.)
