Directions
The Bass Management Centre is on the third floor of Boots Library on Nottingham Trent’s City Campus. It is accessed via the side entrance on Goldsmith Street, opposite Blackwell’s book store (number 15 on this map:http://www.ntu.ac.uk/map_files/42554.pdf)
The NCTX Tram runs from the train station and stops directly opposite the entrance. Walking from the train station takes about 15 minutes.
For drivers, there is limited University parking but there are plenty of public car parks in the vicinity. Some are indicated on the map but there are always plenty of spaces beneath the Victoria Shopping Centre which is only a 5 minute walk away (on the far right of the map). Please let us know if you have restricted mobility and we can arrange for parking closer to the Bass Management Centre.
