I’ve been wanting to go on a photography adventure for awhile now so I decided while I was in Pasadena for Thanksgiving I would stop by Cal Tech to peep what their campus had to offer. Although I grew up not too far from the campus I had never actually seen it, besides the front gate, and was intrigued to check out their throwback architecture. It didn’t disappoint. Now that I’ve checked it out I shoulda TOTALLY applied, o wait it’s the #2 University in the world?! Well at least it’s fun to look at…
This fire pull was in the middle of a bush. No clue how it was supposed to be convenient in an emergency but I have never seen such sweet housing for a fire handle.
The fence for the Molecular Biology building blew my mind. Nice attention to detail.
I saw one of these Campus Directories while I was google image searching something and thought they were a pretty cool way to design a map holder instead of having a huge board like the mall.
Also check out the documentary Quantum Hoops. It follows the Cal Tech Beavers mens basketball team, as you can guess they are not all that athletic. This stat pretty much sums up the plot “Since their previous victory in 1985, the Beavers had not won a conference game in 21 years – a 259-game losing streak”. It’s a good watch if you have Netflix.
