Seagulls are very representative. Only last week did
one swoop down and try to nick a baguette out of my
hand. Happens a lot on campus.
Further info about the campus if it helps...
<http://www.sussex.ac.uk/about/index.html>
Sussex is the only university in England which is
entirely located in a designated Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty. The University campus is like a large,
self-contained village, with lecture theatres, seminar
rooms, libraries, laboratories, accommodation,
restaurants, bars, shops and sports facilities all
within easy walking distance. Just a few minutes away
is the lively seaside city of Brighton with its great
leisure facilities and its rich, varied cultural life.
Buildings in the heart of campus were designed by the
renowned architect Sir Basil Spence. These include
Falmer House, which won one of the coveted medals of
the Royal Institute of British Architects in the year
it opened (1962), and the striking circular Meeting
House based on the design of the traditional oast
house which won a Civic Trust award in 1969. In 1993,
the buildings which make up the core of Sir Basil
Spence's original design were given listed building
status. Falmer House was one of only two educational
buildings in the UK to be given Grade 1 status of
"exceptional interest".
Falmer house apparently looks like a camera:

The library looks like books on end.
Not really sure if that helps.
