Retro Tech

It's another beautiful day in Atlanta today as I rode through the Georgia Tech campus.  Riding a bike through the Georgia Tech campus should be on the "to do" list of every person who likes to ride a bicycle.  The sidewalks are real wide and wind throughout the pictures campus.  When you do need to get on a road there is usually a bike lane, and cars seem to be careful.

The buildings have real design here, you just don't see cheap looking glass square buildings.  It looks like they may have even encompassed a lot of the design input from the students in everything, each building looks like a class project.  This Summer they leveled quite a lot of buildings and erected some amazing ones in their place.  
  
This is the University Center of Excellence for Photovoltaics.   I've always really liked this building, It has a George Jetson look to it's design.  Georgia Tech used to be full of cool little buildings like this, but seeing them now is becoming rare.   I hope they keep this one.

                                                                                                                                                                 Here is  shot of the buildings bottom.  I have always loved the design in the glass block.  The interior looks pretty aged though and the walls all seem to be cinderblock.
