And the on-campus 'housing': http://prometheus.med.utah.edu/~bwjones/2014/03/room-at-janelia-farms/ http://prometheus.med.utah.edu/~bwjones/2014/03/room-at-jane...
- DocSavage 12y agoThe room in the picture is one of the short-term rooms used almost exclusively for visitors and conference attendees. Long-term on-campus townhouses and condos have nice modern designs but not that kind of view :)
