The Lanyon Building

The Lanyon Building is the main QUB building. Though I've never actually been in any of the rooms inside it, you go through it to get most places, including the library, the International and Post-Graduate Student Centre, and more.

Lanyon was built in parts in the 19th century. And it looks it. It's hugely, grandly, painfully Victorian. A reader of this blog will have noticed by now that this is a feature of Belfast architecture.

And, for some reason, there's a statue of Gallileo inside. And at certain times of day there are high schoolers wandering around (if you're wondering who all those young people in uniforms are).




Find the subtle clue that indicates the Victorian origin of this wing!


A WWI memorial, I think.
