Getting Here
The easiest way to reach the Sanderson Building is to go to Gate 3 of the King’s Buildings campus, on Mayfield
Road. It’s the first building on your left as you come through the gate, and it has “Engineering” carved over the
main door. Walk in through these doors, and you will find staff from the Engineering Teaching Organisation (ETO)
there to assist you.
