How to use this resource

The tour uses photographic imaging and 360° scanning technology to enable you to take immersive journeys through the facility. You can zoom in and out and move the image around for a full 360° view and explore the hotspots of each area. Use the icons at the bottom left of the screen (on desktop) to select your view and how you want to navigate. Choose to follow the camera as it guides you around, or take control and explore every corner. The models also work on mobile devices and offer a VR experience using Google Cardboard and Oculus Quest.
