A Metra outbound Rock Island local passes the Illinois Institute of Technology's main campus building as it approaches Lou Jones Station. Leading the way was Metra 201 in its now gone classic blue scheme.
Morning light on the pre-Victorian Meanwood Institute. I read that they have two snooker tables made in 1885.
Built 1881. Coromandel Valley, South Australia
Coromandel Valley, and its neighboring suburb, Coromandel East, gain their name from a ship, the Coromandel, which arrived in Holdfast Bay from London in 1837 with 156 English settlers. The ship was in turn named after the Coromandel Coast in India. After the ship reached the shore, on 17 January 1837 some of its sailors deserted, intending to remain behind in South Australia, and took refuge in the hills in the Coromandel Valley region. Appearing after the ship had sailed, they were never prosecuted, owing to the lack of a suitable official.
Inside the Mathematics Institute at Oxford. We were privileged to be given a tour of this extraordinary building. Very Escher like in it's communications corridors - except they all go somewhere! Full of light which is channelled to the different floors via glass crystal shaped structures which give fabulous reflections. It is an amazing structure. What a place for some of the best brains to flourish!!!
Hidden in the Mechelen region is the Ursuline Institute, a hidden gem of Art Nouveau. The winter garden of the former pensionnat de demoiselles in Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-Waver was in 1900 unique in its Catholic context.

The Manoora Institute was built using local stone from Wares Quarry in 1880 by Messrs Jones & McFarlane at a cost of £280, with the committee providing the stone, bricks, lime, and sand. The main hall was officially opened on the 18th of December 1884 by the Minster of Justice and Education, the Hon. R. C. Baker. The local community later raised £600 by staging concerts and billiard tournaments to fund the front extensions, which opened on the 17th of October 1908 by the Commissioner of Crown Lands, the Hon. L. O'Loughlin.
Manoora, South Australia:
Manoora, South Australia, is named after the Aboriginal name for a spring of water. Developed from a waystation for copper teamsters, Manoora was also on the Peterborough railway line, serving Burra until the line closed. It passed by the upper reaches of the Gilbert River. Manoora is a pleasant town ringed by shallow hills, and its buildings feature extensive use of local sandstone.

I love the detail of her face - lighter and not oxidized, and it looks like she's crying. But maybe that's just me.

Built for the Burgomeister "R&D Lab" category of DA4, supporting General Farok. The embedded image in the comments meets the A&B criteria of designing LEGO inspired box art.
The research and development lab staff include:
- Master Administrator (main floor); oversees the overall running of the research institute, as well as the data analytics.
- Master of Chemistry (top floor); leads research in spice production, refinement, and weaponized usages. Controls the refining column that rises through the building.
- Master of Resources (in vehicle); procures all resources needed by the lab. Also the primary driver of the desert track ATV stored in the bottom level. The grand staircase in front of the building lifts up for the vehicle to pass through.
- Master of Arms (bottom level); tests all weapons for combat worthiness.
- Master of Communications (bottom level with headset); researches sonic weapons, specifically attuned to the "weirding way".
A rockery garden of spring flowers welcomes visitors to the Church Institute in Banstead, Surrey.
The Institute (to all intents and purposes the church hall) was built in 1906 thanks to a generous donation of £1,000 and it remains very much a community venue, being used for recreation, amateur dramatics, exhibitions, social gatherings and so-on.
Until the arrival of the Institute, the Village School further down the high street was used for local activities. The school is long gone, but with the Institute still going strong, I’d say that it was the best £1,000 ever spent!
There's a wider aspect of the hall here.
The Ayalon Institute was a secret ammunition factory disguised as part of a kibbutz to fool the British back in the 1940s. Jewish people used the factory in their efforts to fight for the independent state of Israel. Organizers went to extreme measures to build and sustain this secret factory within the kibbutz. Between 1945 and 1948, the Ayalon Institute produced more than 2 million 9mm bullets.
During the British mandate, the Jewish people began planning ways to make machinery and guns to fight for independence. While manufacturing guns didn’t prove to be that difficult, it was very challenging to make bullets for the guns.
So, a group of Jewish people decided to build a ammunitions factory under a kibbutz, which is a communal area of land designed for a specific purpose, such as farming. The area was near a British base. In 1945, the group built structures on the surface that resembled a kibbutz and in about three weeks, they built an entire ammunitions factory eight meters underground. The factory was about the size of a tennis court.
The factory stopped operating in 1948, three years after being built. In 1987, the factory was restored and turned into a museum that is now open to the public.

A way late Get Pushed Round 39 response.
Matt Lincoln challenged me with: "Go back to the Art Institute with the intention of reflecting on the meaning of a particular painting that you have already seen in your last visit. Use a different model, or different approach to clothing etc. to bring out your response to the painting."
Didn't do a painting, but used the same sculpture with Becca as this shot with Sarah.
