From the Botanical gardens in Uppsala, Sweden. This building is Linneanum, an orangery built in 1787-1807 as a place for lectures on botany held by the university. The left wing is used to house plants during the winter months, the right one is used as offices for SCAS (Swedish Collegium of Advanced Study), and all are still in the hands of Uppsala University.

Koning Lodewijk Napoleon koos in 1807 Utrecht als zijn residentie. Voor zijn paleis kocht hij een aantal panden, o.a. aan de Drift, en liet de "'grande galerie" en hofkapel nieuw bouwen. Onder leiding van J.D. Zocher sr. was zijn paleis snel gereed, hij woonde er echter maar een paar maanden. De balzaal werd in 1817 verbouwd tot bibiliotheek voor de universiteit. Vanaf 1960 was de grande galerie alleen nog maar in gebruik als boekenopslag. Met de recente verbouwing zijin de galerie en de voormalige kapel weer onderdeel van de bibliotheek.
Next to the Sanssouci Park is the landmark of the University of Potsdam: The Communs, the representative outbuildings of the New Palace. A relatively young university that was founded in 1991.

Wroclaw, Poland
The University of Wrocław is a public research university located in Wrocław, Poland. Founded in 1702, it is one of the oldest collegiate-level institutions of higher education in Central Europe with around 30,000 students (2012). Throughout its history, it remained a great learning center of a German-speaking countries until territorial changes of Germany after World War II. Following the territorial changes of Poland after World War II academics primarily from Jan Kazimierz University of Lwów restored the university building heavily damaged and split as a result of the Siege of Breslau (1945). The first lectures were conducted in the halls with broken windows.
The University is currently the largest in Lower Silesia with over 100,000 graduates since 1945 including some 1,900 researchers among whom many received the highest awards for their contribution to the development of scientific scholarship
Warsaw University Library roof garden, covering an area of over 1 ha, is one of the largest roof gardens in Europe. The garden is divided into two parts: the upper and the lower part, which are joined by a cascading stream.
The lower part includes amongst others a fish pond, where ducks have taken residence, as well as a series of granite sculptures on cosmological themes. The upper garden comprises of four parts: the golden part (to the north), the silver part (to the east), the crimson part (to the south) and the green part (to the west). Each one features different vegetation whose colors reflect their names.
Individual sections of the garden are connected by paths, bridges and pergolas. The rooftop is also an ideal viewing point of Warsaw’s panorama as well as the library interiors.

The University Hospital Aachen, planned from 1968 and built until 1985, is one of the largest hospitals in Germany with almost 6,600 rooms. The enormous dimensions resulted from the concept of combining all medical sub-disciplines as well as research and teaching in one building.
The main building has a length of 257 m and a width of 134 m and is accessed vertically via 24 stairwell shafts 54 m high. The stairwell shafts protrude 9 m from the eight-storey building sections, creating a castle-like impression. The building was constructed as a reinforced concrete skeleton structure, with the stairwell cores made of in-situ concrete and slip formwork. The remaining components were precast concrete elements.
For sure, this project is certainly not a typical example of “classic” concrete brutalism. The brutalist aspect here arises in particular from the fact that the construction method was left visible on the façade without any cladding, as was the building technology, which is prominently displayed, for example, by the exhaust pipes marked with yellow rings. Thanks to this design, the enormous building is regarded as a representative of high tech architecture, to which the Centre Pompidou in Paris also belongs.

This image is from the Princeton University campus in Princeton, New Jersey. The architects certainly went arch-happy in their construction! There must literally be dozens of arches on that campus, incorporated into a wide variety of structures.
