In case you want to orientate yourself on the complicated geometry of this place,
for example to locate yours truly -- seminar organizer, at office 186 -- or to find the
seminar room 161, you may want to have a look at the following floorplan of the
2nd floor or
3rd floor
The Zernike Building is located on the Zernike complex ``campus'' of Groningen
University,
The Zernike complex is located at the northeast of the City, just outside the Groningen ringroad. It may be easily reached by public transport. In case you travel to Groningen by train (NS), during office hours you are advised to take bus nr. 15 straight from the station up to the Zernike complex. From the centre of the city (Grote Markt) to the Zernike complex we refer to bus nr. 11. Evidently, from the station one may choose to take the traintaxi or taxi. By car the Zernike complex is conveniently located, as may be readily appreciated from the map of Groningen:
