How to find us - Highfield main campus

ISVR Consulting's offices and acoustic testing laboratories are on the main Highfield Campus of the University of Southampton as shown by the red circle on the map below.

We are easily reached by road, just two or three miles from the M3 and M27 motorways.

If you are coming by road please check parking arrangements with us before visiting, so we can either reserve you a parking space or arrange access for deliveries, as space is very limited.

Directions

By road from the North

Leave the M3 motorway at Junction 14 following the signs for “A33 Southampton” (not Southampton Docks).
Take the A 33 for 1.1 miles from the end of the motorway, then turn left at traffic lights into Burgess Road (A 35).
Take the first right, 0.5 miles later at traffic lights, into University Road.
If we have reserved you a space in the Visitors' Car Park take the first right into Salisbury Road and take the first entrance on the left, immediately behind the Nightingale Building (67), into the Upper Nuffield car park, marked on the map. Drive through this car park, to the ’sentry box‘, from where you will be directed down the slope, past the bus stops, to the Lower Nuffield car park. Note: Visitors' parking is by prior arrangement only - we have to reserve you a space in advance. If you have a space reserved, turn into this car park.
If you need to drive to our building, eg to make a delivery, continue along University Road and after approximately 0.4 miles bear left into Welbeck Avenue, then almost immediately, turn left into Hartley Avenue.
At the end of Hartley Avenue, with Granby Grove ahead of you, turn left into the University site (one-way system).
Take the first right, then second left into a small car park. ISVR Consulting is in Building 15, the two-storey building adjacent to the car park, with labs on the ground floor (Rayleigh Labs) and offices and Reception (Room 2039) on the upper floor.

By road from the East or West.

Leave the M27 motorway at Junction 5.(Note: if approaching from the East Jn 5 follows Jn 7 - there is no Jn 6).
Take the A335 southbound towards Southampton. (Useful tip - there are two lanes here - if you move into the right-hand lane and don't change lanes, you will be in the correct lane at all the following traffic lights.)
After 0.4 miles from the motorway continue straight ahead at traffic lights, then after 0.1 miles you will find three sets of traffic lights within 150 metres, with a McDonalds at the third set. Turn right at this third set, into Burgess Road (A 35).
After 0.6 miles, turn left into University Road.

By Rail

Fast trains from London Waterloo reach Southampton Airport Parkway in 60 minutes or Southampton Central in 70 minutes. The Airport station is slightly closer than Southampton Central to the University.

Train times can be obtained from the National Rail, the Qjump or Thetrainline web-sites.

Taxis are available from either station, from outside the Platform 1 exit in each case.

Uni-link buses on route U1 provide a frequent service from each railway station to the University,

The U1C Uni-link bus service runs from the Airport and Airport Parkway Station (use the exit from the ‘down’ platform, Platform 2) to the Highfield Interchange in the centre of the campus, then continues to the city centre. Buses are usually every 15 minutes, and the journey time is 15 minutes.
The U1A Uni-link bus service runs in the reverse direction from the Central Station (adjacent to the Platform 4 exit) to the Highfield Interchange in the centre of the campus, then on to the Airport and Airport Parkway station. Buses are usually every 15 minutes, and the journey time is 20 minutes.

A single journey fare costs £1.50, while an all-day Uni-link bus ticket costs £2.50 and allows unlimited travel on any Uni-link buses for the whole day. Buy tickets from the driver.

If coming by train from the Portsmouth direction use Southampton Central Station.
