Find us...

Hi
Wondering how best to write directions for how to find something. Some variations:
  1. Find us in the Student Centre on the Ground Floor.
  2. Find us at the Student Centre on the Ground Floor.
  3. Find us on the Ground Floor of the Student Centre.

Which is the easiest to read? Or is there a better way of writing this?


Thanks

Dave

I think this is what you want: Student Centre is on the Ground Floor. But let's wait for some other opinion. Tom

#1 and #3 sound good to me, but "ground floor" should not be capitalized.

Note that #3 implies that the Student Centre has more than one floor.

Any of the three would work. I would pick #3, I think. I probably wouldn't capitalize ground floor unless it's regarded as a place in its own right, perhaps such that a student would know where you meant if you just said Ground Floor without mentioning the Student Centre.

Thanks all, very helpful. I've gone with:

Find us on the ground floor of the Student Centre.
