From a slightly different viewpoint than the two previous photos it is possible to see two fragments of walls. The one to the right is the substructure of the entrance-/kitchen building. It seems that the eastern corner of the wall is also standing so that the entire length of the building can be measured exactly. The fragment to the left on the photo is the corner of the entrance ramp where the ramp makes a 180 degree swing. The rubble from the ruined college is clearly visible between the two fragments. The tower is hardly visible on this photo because of the enhancement necessary to see details in the walls.
Other standing building fragments are not known but might exist. If so the exact measurements and location of the building would be much easier to establish.
