The University Building


The university is essentially one big building. There is a great hall (like a station or an airport) and there are wings. The different parts of the building are labelled by letters: A room labelled V2-xyz will be in the second floor, and it will be in the V-wing in case x = 2, and on the long corridor near to the V-wing in case x = 1.

Toilets: Off the main hall, in the passages to the wings; always near to the elevators.

The building is open:
