Directions to Wolverhampton Science Park:

We are in Glaisher Drive, off the Stafford Road by the KFC – there are three buildings and the Technology Centre is the one in the middle. If you go to reception – they can call us, or go left at reception up the stairs and we are on the left – just ring the doorbell.

There is plenty of car parking if you are driving – just say you are visiting SPEED at the barrier. The maps and directions via the link below may also help:
