Here 'tis - The illustrious University of Sheffield in all its glory. A mix of dilapidated 60s era concrete and Industrialist beauty. 
The Archaeology Department: 
It's on West St one of the main going out zones only 2 mins from where i live. Close but i'm still permanently late for every class.
The Red Deer, the real Archaeology Department. Between my flat and the lab. I reckon they would go bankrupt if Archaeology wasn't around the cornor.
One of Sheffield's unbelievably famous landmarks - unbelievable because it's one of the ugliest buildings around. The Arts Tower. Sheffield's tallest building, housing the architecture department amongst other things. What is it about architecture departments and ugly buildings? It's a Grade II heritage listed building which can't be pulled down (despite it being designed as a temporary structure). it is slowly slipping down the hill and part of it is closed due to safety issues and leaks. Perfect. For ugliness comparison here is the Architecture Department of Melbourne Uni:

Brand new - the Information Commons building just opened and beautiful with its prematurely corroded copper look. Scarily similiar to the Asia Centre at Melb. Uni. Again - why?
And finally St Georges - One of the conceptually strangest buildings in the Uni. An old abandoned Church now converted into a Lecture theatre and student accommodation with gravestones all around.
All teasing aside, it's a pretty good place to be.
