This image depicts an exterior view of the L'Oréal Centre of Excellence building, part of the Essex Business School, located at the University of Essex in Wivenhoe Park, Colchester, United Kingdom. The scene is captured during twilight or early night, evidenced by the dark blue, cloudless sky and activated artificial lighting. The dominant subject is the multi-story L'Oréal Centre of Excellence building in the background, characterized by modern architecture featuring extensive horizontal wooden cladding. It possesses a distinctive roofline with both angled and curved glass sections. Numerous interior lights are active, visible through the building's rectangular windows, and an external wooden staircase is prominent on its left facade. In the mid-ground, a brightly illuminated, covered bicycle rack structure is visible to the right. This structure has a metal frame, a roof, and multiple bicycle stands; a strong overhead light within it creates a noticeable vertical lens flare. Two individuals are positioned near this bicycle rack; one is wearing a light-colored top, and the other is largely obscured by shadow. To the left, a single person, dressed in a dark t-shirt and dark shorts, walks away from the viewer on a paved sidewalk. A modern glass-paneled bus stop shelter is situated further left on the sidewalk. A green utility box is also present on the grass. The foreground consists of an asphalt road with a white painted directional arrow, running parallel to the sidewalk. The intervening areas are landscaped with grass and young trees, demarcated by low fencing.
