MARINE SCIENCE


The landscaping between the Bren - Marine Science complex and Lagoon Road detracts from the architectural beauty of the buildings. It is, however, a haven for rats and ground squirrels.

 

The open stairway in the central courtyard is surrounded by attractive landscaping and is well maintained.

 

 

The second floor is actually the primary entrance to the buildings offices. The patio entrance is breathtaking.
If you don't like the view down the coast you can always catch a glimpse of the Channel Islands. It doesn't get any better than this.
The only sign of aging was in the exposed stair wells. A fresh coat of paint would help.
The only sign of neglect was a small accumulation of dust on the stairwell lighting fixtures.
