Torino Italy 03/10/2011: First day of school in the new campus!

This was the first day of school in the newly opened campus. Perfect timing for us!

This is the side fo the building, denoted by the benches and umbrellas. We're actually staring at the mensa (the caffeteria).

Here's the opposite side of the building. This area used to be a Fiat factory, and they converted this area into a University campus. They're planning further expansion.

Here's a patio, where is it really cold in the winter.

This is a really nice building

This is the right side of the building. And those are the only exterior stairs to go to the 2nd floor.

Here's a picture after climbing those stairs. And the garbage cans are soo cool! Makes it like you're on a ship or something.

Here's a shot from the outside looking in. You can't tell, but there's a set of doors that separate the outside from the inside. But all it does in the winter is keep out the wind. They're only single pane and they don't insulate at all. On top of that, all these glass doors do not have dampers. Something I found out after pushing the door open with my hip and slamming it into the glass wall.....I am so glad I didn't break anything.

Here's the common area. It's freezing in here in the winter.

Inside looking out.

Here's the Cafeteria (aka the mensa), Now it says "Bar" on the door, and that's valid as they serve alcohol.
