The engineering faculty at Stellenbosch University is at the north side of campus. While most campus buildings are oriented square to the east-west axis of campus and town, the three engineering buildings are oriented along a northwest to southeast line. Thus, an eastward approach up Banghoek Road brings one face-to-face with the imposing and formidable main building (below), its sterile architecture in stark contrast to classic styles elsewhere on campus and in town. There is, presently, a massive construction project underway at engineering. I hope the renovations will soften the façade of the building.
On Catherine’s last day with Janneke, they went to Rush, a bounce place in Claremont.
I did two errands at lunch today. (1) I purchased a Wild Card to reduce costs for our upcoming Kruger Park safari and my later trip to the Cederberg. (2) I fetched Catherine’s iPad which was again repaired.
