The building Geovetenskapens hus consists of several parts, three elongated buildings, two fan-shaped buildings and connecting buildings. In two of the three elongated buildings and in the connecting buildings (S, T, X and V), the department has its offices and research laboratories. In the two fan-shaped houses U and Y, most of the teaching rooms are located.

The room numbering in the house is structured as follows: T236 = House T floor 2 room 36. The classrooms' room code consists of a letter and two numbers e.g. sal U29 = House U plan 2 sal 9.
