Location & directions

Maths Houses 5, Gibbet Hill Campus, Gibbet Hill Road, University of Warwick, Coventry, West Midlands, CV4 7AL

Directions:
The postal address is *not* the correct address to use for locating the buildings. The maths houses are closer to Gibbet Hill Road / Kenilworth Road roundabout than the main campus. The Maths Houses are on the Gibbet Hill campus, which also contains the School of Life and Warwick Medical School. Coming from the Gibbet Hill Road / Kenilworth Road roundabout, the Gibbet Hill campus entrance is the first road on the right after Moreall Meadows. The closest car park is P21, for the shortest walk, or park in P20 for better wheelchair access. On entering the Gibbet Hill campus from Gibbet Hill Road, for car park P21, turn immediately right and follow round to the car park. For P20, go straight ahead. Parking on Sunday is £2.50 for the day.
