Travel to ISSR

ISSR is at UQ's Long Pocket Precinct, a short 10 minute shuttle bus ride from the St Lucia campus and 15 minute drive from Brisbane CBD.

ISSR occupies two buildings within this precinct: Cycad B1018 and Dianella B1021. The Long Pocket Parking Map will show you where the visitor parking is in relation to our buildings.

Drive through gate 4 (last gate), keep driving along that road (Discovery Drive). After you pass Hibiscus B1017 on the left you will see the visitor parking on the right hand side (marked in purple on the parking map). Please park in one of these spaces and continue walking up the hill, past Merlo Coffee Shop on the right and turn left into Reception on Level 2 of our Cycad B1018.

If you have any difficulty in finding us, please contact Reception on +61 7 3346 7471 and you will be directed to our building.

Visitors have access to ample free parking and an on-site Merlo's cafe.
