 | digital tectonics |
digital tectonics will be held in the University Hall, marked 'J' on the campus map. The Hall is best approached by going down the external stairs off the Parade, opposite the Library, 'A'. There is disabled access by a lift off the Parade level or by a ramp off the Service Road under the Parade.
Buses 18 and 418 depart from the city centre Bus Station (opposite Bath Spa Railway Station) approximately every 10 minutes. Return fare is £1.05. Bus stops are shown with red dots on the map. The nearset bus stop to the city centre is just north of Westgate Street (not south as shown on the map). The bus then crosses Pultney Bridge, goes along Great Pultney Street and up Bathwick Hill. See also other new Bus Services for 2001-2002.
We recommend that for digital tectonics you enter the University by the Quarry Road Entrence and park in Car Park 'H'. The eastern car parks are used for a Saturday 'Park and Ride' and people coming to participate in sports. Please display this notice in your car when you park.
