Biased obviously but the main building at Glasgow is gorgeous, and I have some lectures here next semester 😊 usually sciences are confined to the less visually appealing buildings...
The most beautiful universities tend to be the most financially irresponsible universities. I'd rather my university look like dog turd than have it be a palace because you don't choose a university based on looks. So many universities are spending hundreds of millions of pounds on new buildings. THIS IS WHERE YOUR TUITION FEES ARE GOING TO PEOPLE. If you think the professors are getting that money, you're deluded. Admins and buildings are the cash drains
It is awful and everything made in that style should be torn down.
Some do some dont. The top building "roger stevens" is grade 2 listed. Read the listing guide to see why. I'm impressed by the ability to fit 25 decent sized lecture theatres into a small footprint.
