I visited Brunel last year and I think there's more concrete there than Warwick
As for Social Studies, it's alright - it's got a red brick exterior from the 80s (like
here) and the interior still looks decent, so for you it's quite a nice place to study. There are
concrete monstrosities (and
another) that consist of the first buildings built in the late 60s/early 70s which currently house the Library, Humanities, Chemistry, Physics and Engineering departments. That's not to say the interior is as bad as the exterior! Note the bathroom tiling on the left of the previous two photos - these are the Library/Humanities departments. Much nicer buildings have been constructed around, featuring red brick and other strange materials. The front of the Engineering department completed a makeover
earlier this year.
Around 'Academic Square', consisting of buildings constructed from around the turn of the century, it's much nicer.
Here and what is possibly the most overused shot of campus
here you can see some of the more recent buildings. There's one more building to be constructed to complete the 'square' and apparently that starts in a year or two.
You have the Warwick Arts Centre
here which features a bit of concrete and the most puzzling pieces of art right outside, the
Koan, which then rotates around with revolving
lights at night.
But yeah, see for yourself.
