I’m looking for photographs of university computer

until 1995, particularly labs full of unix workstations, of
course. Does anyone here have photos like that in their collection?
Here's a computer lab at Dundee Institute of Technology (now Abertay
University), Dundee, Scotland around 1985:

It's unlikely that there was any Unix involved in that picture -- the
Torch machines pictured are modified BBC Micros with a Z80 coprocessor
so they can run a CP/M clone, and DIT's computer centre had a TOPS-20
system and several VMS machines at that point.
