Getting here
Please use the University of Warwick's 'Visiting Us' webpage for travel information and the interactive map to find your way to the Library Building where you will find the Wolfson Research Exchange on the 3rd floor across the bridge into the Library Extension. Warwick students will need to use their student cards to access the Library building, non-Warwick students should ask for access at Library reception.
Please note that parking on campus is often extremely difficult with car parks full before 8am. We would encourage you to use public transport if at all possible. If you need to bring a car on to campus please arrive early and allow plenty of time to find a place to park. This may mean parking in one of the peripheral car parks and walking on to main campus. Most car parks are pay and display and require cash/coins. More information about parking can be found here.
