Brunel University Runnymede Campus
 Brunel University's Runnymede Campus, Surrey, UK. The buildings visible are President & College Halls, designed by Sir Matthew Digby Wyatt. Just north of the village is the Runnymede campus of Brunel University. Today this is just Halls of residence for the Main campus at Uxbridge. At Runnymede, the halls of residence built in the Shoreditch College era (i.e before the merger with Uxbridge) were named after staff (Scrivens, Marshall, Bradley, Reed, Rowan). Existing buildings were named in the Royal Indian Engineering College era, such as President Hall (where the College president resided) and College Hall. These fine Victorian buildings were built by Sir Matthew Digby Wyatt, who had been Isambard Kingdom Brunel's architect for Paddington Station in London, and also for the famous Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge (now the Judge Institute). Corridors in President and College Halls were named after prominent British and Anglo-Indian figures, such as George Canning, Warren Hastings, Richard Wellesley and Charles Cornwallis.
