Can you answer our five questions?

Use Google Street View to investigate our building and find the clues you need to answer the questions!

There are almost 100 different labs at the Crick! Each of them is home to a group of scientists and almost everything they need to do their research.

1. How many floors with labs and equipment do you think we have at the Crick?

You got it!

Even though you can only see five rows of windows, we actually have eight floors above ground - and four below! 

Not quite!

This one was a bit of a trick question - there are actually eight whole floors above ground, and four more below ground!
