I guess last week's mystery campus was way too easy, congrats to Arrowsmith for his two correct answers. This week will be a little harder.
So here is this week's "campus":
hint: Great place to have a trip, I got more done here than ever before!

Looks like a very dark place to me, an inside of a broom closet perhaps.
Yeah, I was afraid of this aspect when I first thought of this campus. But I'm confident that someone can figure out the subject of this satellite photo.
Great Barrier Reef?
Closer. I could have written: I've got more to read here than everyone else ever had.
Ahhh - I'm guessing the Sargasso Sea. It's where Venter's group did the collection for one of the first large-scale metagenomic sequencing projects. They got over 1 billion bases and something like 2k species.

LSD was first synthesized in 1938 by Swiss chemist Dr. Albert Hofmann at the Sandoz Laboratories in Basel as part of a large research program searching for medically useful ergot alkaloid derivatives.
Ergot, it must be either Sandoz Labs or else the University of Basel!
Do I get extra points for the pun?
Looks dark. Must be the cave with Castaneda's brujo.
Well the weekend is here and Chris got it. The Sargasso Sea is where Venter using a bucket and a DNA sequencing machine, sequenced more genes than what was in the NCBI database at that point in time.
