Cartoon University?

A change in the weather today, with the first rain we have seen for a while.
Off to my last day of teaching at UWE, with pretty poor attendances (assignment hand-ins on Thursday a probable cause). Went off to pick up some marking from the new-to-me "Assignment Hub" at the other end of the campus, going through areas I haven't seen since I stopped working at UWE full-time. This isolated poster from Facilities (authors of yesterday's poster about meeting exceeding "customers expectations"had no explanation of quite what  is being built for "you" beyond these pretty pictures.
Another sanctioned street art hoarding on the side of L Block. 
An impressive big piece of work near the Red Bar. 
Skateboarding, parkour, or what? 
Outside the Assignment Hub, a motivational feel to this tall one.  Not sure if this conveys quite the impression that UWE seeks to get across in some of its marketing and research materials, but I prefer them to the unremitting grey of the buildings they adorn.
This day a year ago, flowers were popping out all over the place - including this snowy mespil tree in bllom.
