You will see a path in front of you with trees on either side that leads to a large building with multiple panes of glass visible.
Walk towards the large building at the end on the footpath. You will pass standing signs that mark this as ARU Peterborough.
You will reach the base of the building. It is grey with a large automatic door that has blue writing that says “ARU Peterborough”. A blue standing sign will stand nearby that says “Welcome to University House”.
This is the reception of ARU Peterborough.
If you place yourself with the grey reception building on your left and the blue standing sign that says “Welcome to University House” on your right, you will see a path leading straight ahead of you.
Follow this path to reach the Living Lab.
Continue to follow the footpath. You will walk past glass windows into the ARU Peterborough building on your left, and bushes or trees on your right. You may see people through the windows. You will see a grey and yellow building ahead of you.
Continue to follow this path.
As you continue forwards with the ARU Peterborough building on your left, you will reach a road and set of parking spaces. You may see and hear vehicles like cars, vans and motorbikes.
Cross the road and continue towards the grey and yellow building.
After you cross the road, you will see the grey and yellow building ahead of you. There will be plants and trees to your left and right.
Continue forward along the path.
When you reach the end of the path, it will open out into an open space with outdoor seats in front of a yellow and grey building. A blue sign will read: “Welcome to The Lab”.
