The EODG is located on the second floor of the Robert Hooke Bulding (accessed through the Atmospheric Building). If the Atmospheric Building door is locked then either use the call button to reach Physics reception or call your contact to gain access. When inside the building go up the stairs to the second floor, then through the fire door to the left of the main office door and along the corridor. When you get to the photocopier you are in EODGland.
Parking is very limited and is available on a first come, first served basis. If you plan to arrive by car please arrange a parking space as far as possible in advance by telephoning 01865 272933.
If you find you have some spare time then the University Museum adjacent to the Science Area is worth visiting. Don't miss the
dodo (remains); and in the Pitt Rivers collection, the shrunken heads, witch in a bottle and Eskimo parka (made out of seal intestine).
