Finding your way around campus

The Faculty of Science and Engineering is located in two main areas in Groningen. Most facilities are located at the Zernike campus, with several of the more medical programmes located downtown at the Antonius Deusinglaan (ADL) near to the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG).

Each building and room or lecture hall within it has a dedicated indicative number. The first four digits of a location indicate the building number; the first two digits after the period indicate the floor number and the last two digits indicate the room number. Some buildings contain multiple building numbers. Take LB 5173.0217 as an example. LB indicates the general building: Linnaeusborg, which consists of multiple building numbers; ‘5173’ indicates which specific part of the Linnaeusborg you need to be in. Room 0217 is on the second floor, in room 17.

A list of all the UG buildings and a map of the Zernike Campus will also help you find your way to our buildings.

Via the online schedule you will be able to find the locations for each lecture. If you click on the location and log in, you can find more information about the building your lecture/tutorial/practical is in.

In the first few weeks, your lectures will be in the Energy Academy, the Bernoulliborg, the Nijenborgh, the Linneausborg and the Feringa Building. You can already check out the campus tour videos below for those buildings, except for the Feringa Building as it is new.

On the introduction day, your mentor will also take you on a guided tour of the campus and show you the important classrooms. But during the first few weeks, we recommend being there extra early to find your way to the right lecture or tutorial room, because some of them can be difficult to find.
