Member facilities
Make the most of the facilities at Savoy Place.
A modern and dynamic hub, our Faraday Centre is available to support our members and volunteers – providing a comfortable and practical base, whether meeting fellow engineers or carrying out research.

Each member can visit up to twice a week and host a maximum of three visitors.
