Wheres University Hall?

While toying around Google Earth, I decided to map out NUS and guess what I found in the middle of the campus?

A great big bald spot that is to be the 2 wings of the University Hall!

I guess this is a good reminder to all of the time when the sides of the ridge was bare and exposed for all to see. Poor kent ridge.

Anyways, it does remind one that Google Earth is not exactly up to date. But such frozen-in-time treasures are hard to come by.

I also found that NUS is too covered with trees and a lot of times the buildings, carparks or paths are covered by tree and I end up being disorientated. For some reason I cannot find the Arts Canteen. I did manage to find the now-ex law carpark and LT8 but cannot put my finger on the canteen. The shape and orientation seems to be wrong. Help!

It's the grey N-shaped thing. Follow down from 'ment' in Department of Geography.
