I was in utrecht's uni district a few weeks ago and it looked great. The had renovated all the old building, but just large parts of the inside. keeping that traditional look on the outside, but with a modern and practical interior.

Good thing i didn't see those, that would've turned me off on that uni for sure.

Also took a quick gander inside the law-building on the other side of the square.
lovely lobby and a beautiful exterior, but the lecture halls had that plastic-panel po-mo look.
