# Laboratory Space

Laboratory spaces are hoping to re-open in the 2021-2022 academic year with limited capacity.

Laboratory space can typically be booked through the internal [Resource Booking](https://bookings.ncl.ac.uk/) website. If you need help accessing this site or booking a laboratory space, please contact the [Lab Manager](mailto:linglab@newcastle.ac.uk). While the new spaces are still being set up, it is best to contact the Lab Manager in the first instance if you wish to book time in one.

### Finding your way here

[King George IV Building (KGVI)](https://goo.gl/maps/Md6x61TBYj9ZNZyu7) 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.

To reach the 2nd floor labs, take the lift (next to the Experimental Lab suite) to the second floor. The entrance to both rooms is through 2.12, the Language Analysis Lab.

Both levels have accessible toilets nearby. The recording spaces in the basement suite will all be equipped with accessibility ramps (where necessary).
