Notes:
– Lancaster Uni. buildings use an A-D system to number floors rather than conventional floor numbers. The ground floor would be A, for example.
– The main entrance to the InfoLab building is on B floor and the SkyLounge is located on D floor.
– Engineering building 2 does not appear on all versions of the Lancaster University campus map. It is located next to the building labelled ‘ENG’ on the campus map included in your welcome email. Please also see the map below where ENG2 has been highlighted in yellow.
