Finding your way here

King George IV Building (KGVI) is located on Queen Victoria Road in Newcastle upon Tyne, across from the Royal Victoria Infirmary (RVI) and Great North Children's Hospital.

To enter on the Basement level, there is an entrance in the back, along King's Road. This entrance is fully wheelchair accessible.

The Computer Lab and Experimental Lab suite (Eye-tracking, Sociolinguistics, and Phonetics Labs) are located on this level. To reach them, enter the building and turn left. At the end of the corridor, turn right at the lift and stairwell. The Experimental Lab rooms are through the double doors.
