Travelling by bus 

There are two buses that run from Norwich city centre (with stops at the train station) to UEA – the number 25 and number 26 buses. Both bus routes run frequently throughout the evening, and we recommend that you consider travelling to and from UEA by bus, especially as pressure on our main car park can be considerable during the evenings. 

Facilities 

• Toilets:  There are toilets located on all floors of all buildings on campus. All toilets are signposted by most stairwells and elevators throughout the building. Accessible toilets are widely available in the majority of buildings and are listed on the digital campus map (select the orange accessibility filter). There is a Changing Places facility in the Science Building. All accessible toilets are gender neutral and there are also designated gender neutral toilets in the Student Union building Union House on the main University square.

• Library: Open from 07:00-19:00 for visitors. Outside of these hours access to the library is via campus card only. Find out more about accessing the library as a member of the local community.
