Sciences III.
This is my lab a the University of Geneva. The main entrance is further on up the road. The architecture around here (Geneva) is overall pretty interesting. Many of the buildings seem to be 'dynamic' in that their exterior arrangement can often be adjusted from inside! From inside our labs, it is possible to control the metal exterior venetian blind system - You'll notice in this picture every square seems to have a different setting. You can raise and lower them, and control the pitch of the blades to adjust the incoming sunlight. There are narrow (about half a meter) balconies between the lab windows and the exterior of the building.
The University in it's entirety doesn't really have a nice, manicured campus. Rather, the various buildings are peppered around this part of the city. The Science buildings, however, are in close proximity. The older 'Sciences I and Sciences II' are to the right and behind my building, respectively.
