366 Days of 2012, Day 95 - Inner Piece

I was just about to step into the lift when I noticed a beautiful pink and purple fluorescent glow emanating from the lift well. I'm not sure why I had never seen it before.

The lifts in the Innova21 Building on the University of Adelaide's North Terrace campus were already a wonderful piece of aesthetic and technical engineering - an appealing construction of metal, glass and composite materials and a fitting addition to the University's nine-level state-of-the-art education facility.

Are these beautiful lights new? Surely I would have noticed them before. In any case they make the technology look sexy and that can only be good for engineering, maths and computing education. The soft purple glow in the quiet of the evening with all the students long gone was quite meditative.

More on this building and the University of Adelaide can be found at Innova21.
