Buildings
CUED consists of several sites scattered around Cambridge:
- The main buildings are located at Trumpington Street on the Scroope House site, where most of the undergraduate teaching in the Engineering Tripos is carried out. The first building on the site was the Inglis building, completed in 1945, and was closely followed by the Baker Building, completed in 1952.
- The Whittle Laboratory (turbomachinery laboratory opened in 1973), the Centre for Advanced Photonics & Electronics (CAPE) and the Institute for Manufacturing (opened in 2009) at the West Cambridge site.
- The Schofield Centre (Geotechnical Centrifuge laboratory) on the High Cross site.

Famous quotes containing the word buildings:
“The American who has been confined, in his own country, to the sight of buildings designed after foreign models, is surprised on entering York Minster or St. Peter’s at Rome, by the feeling that these structures are imitations also,—faint copies of an invisible archetype.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The desert is a natural extension of the inner silence of the body. If humanity’s language, technology, and buildings are an extension of its constructive faculties, the desert alone is an extension of its capacity for absence, the ideal schema of humanity’s disappearance.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
