60 years of memories

The walkway

The Brutalist concrete walkways are like rivers running through the campus, connecting people and setting up vantage points over the lush Broad. They emphasise UEA's ethos of 'do different' with a combination of modern architecture with green space.

A picture of Andrew on top of his MkII Ford Escort outside his room in Norfolk Terrace. His right arm is raised above him and he carries a broad smile.

"The pic was taken in June 1983, on the day I had just taken my last Finals exam (French Honours; Lit major). Moments later, I and three friends got into a Ford Escort and drove down to the south of France for an end-of-uni-days holiday. As you can see, the mood is celebratory. And it is a very fond memory."
