A South-African journey: The University of Johannesburg (UJ)

My work place is the University of Johannesburg, and more precisely its Auckland Park campus. It is located near Melville (a nice area to go out with bars and restaurants), and not very far from Parkhurst (where I live).
The campus is very large, with a lot of sports fields, buildings, student residences. It has also some nice green areas.
The main building is composed of several "rings" and "labs".

Once you understand more or less how it works, you can manage to go without getting lost, but it's not very easy. In particular, the architecture inside is very strange : stairs go in all directions, and the designer seems to have put a lot of attention to the fact that one should never use the shortest/easiest way from one point to the other.

But the campus also has a lot of parks, and it is a very pleasant place.

Just outside entrance 2 of UJ.

The department of Physics is located in the C-labs part, along with other departments (chemistry, biochemistry, etc.).

Outside the department of Physics (actually the Chemistry side).

UJ is a former Afrikaans University (RAU), as it can still be seen in many places on campus.

A nice thing about the department of Physics is also that just outside the building, there is a very nice view on Johannesburg. The view on the city is fantastic at any time of the day or night, in winter or in summer.
