The Physics Building would be about 160 metres long (magnetic east/west), and 100 metres wide (magnetic north/south) [estimated from aerial views]. It is a red/brown brick, four storey building of utilitarian design, with some inner spaces, like a 'figure-8'.
Just east of this stone is a sawn sandstone wall, which incidentally has a copper sculpture on it - "The Falconer", by Tom Bass.
