Travel and Parking

The campus is having extensive works carried out this summer, and parking is more limited than usual. Please allow ample time to find a parking space. The nearest visitor parking to the Physics department and the Faraday Lecture Theatre is in John Creed Avenue; however, there are many other areas for visitors. Search the mazemap for visitor parking.

Dietary/Allergens

The University is committed to a full allergen accreditation across campus, and suitable meals are always provided for all 14 allergens and other main food intolerances. Please provide Lynne with details of any allergens or dietary requirements so that we can ensure we provide you with appropriate food.

Dress code

There isn’t one. Please wear whatever makes you feel comfortable.

Photography and recording of events

We hope to commemorate the day with photographs of the plaque unveiling and guests in attendance, as well as a recording of the tributes. If you do not wish to be recorded or have your photo taken, please let Lynne know in advance.
