The entrance as viewed from Bancroft Road.
Enter by the glass doors indicated by the pale blue arrow.
There’s an accessible gender neutral loo on the ground floor next to the café.
Two flights of stairs (left) or use the lifts but you MUST follow the instructions below.
With most lifts you get in and press the floor you want. Not with the lifts in the Graduate Centre. You say which floor you want BEFORE you get in the lift and the keypad will tell you which lift to take. ‘2’ for second floor and if you want to take the lift back down to the ground floor use ‘0’. Yes, these lifts confuse lots of people!
