Dear All,
Following up on my last post, I wanted to add some extra details about car parking.
Details of car parking are available in the 'where to find us' link (http://www.see.leeds.ac.uk/contact/find-us/) but in summary, car parking is pay and display at the weekend on campus. Enter through the main entrance on Woodhouse lane and keep heading down hill - there is a brand new multistory or carrying on leads to the sports centre carpark. Both of which have payment machines.
Details of parking prices are available here under Public Visitor Parking: http://carparking.leeds.ac.uk/visitors/#visitor
For a walking map of campus and location of the Earth Science building, please see here (http://www.see.leeds.ac.uk/.../SEE_Campus_Map_Dec_2016.pdf)
