Day 3 - More KAUST Tour Jan 14

Today Kyle and Bridgette went off to work while Kelly and I caught up on sleep and ventured out around KAUST on our own to get a lay of the land. This campus is unbelievably beautiful.
Fountains everywhere

Great view from library







Near the highest point on campus is the Administrative offices with this awesome architectural feature:
Admin Building
View from inside








This part of campus reveals more fountains and scuptures:

One thing I observed here more than any campus I've seen if the large number of coversational seating areas. From both inside the labs as well as outside around Discovery Square or virtually anywhere you can find a place to sit and chat or just contemplate life.
