VRIJE UNIVERSITEIT BRUSSEL Dienst Chemische Ingenieurstechniek VUB – CHIS, Pleinlaan 2, B-1050 Brussel, Belgium Tel.: 32-2-629 32 50 Fax: 32-2-629 32 48 Email: gedesmet@vub.ac.be http://www.vub.ac.be/CHIS/ How to reach us From the Airport (Zaventem) Take a Taxi (expensive) or a train to Brussels (frequent) and then from the station a taxi to the Campus Etterbeek of the VUB. Tell the taxi driver VUB as there is also another university (ULB) next door! You can also take a Metro to the closest station “Petillon”, a 5 minute walk away (see campus map). By Car When you go to Brussels by car, you are likely to approach Brussels by the Ring Highway around Brussels. From there on, there are two possibilities: 1. Highway E40 - Luik/Liege. Take the Montgomery exit at the end (keep left) and follow the broad boulevards through the tunnels (under Montgomery Square) until the Boulevard General Jacques (about 2 km). After you have passed the tram stop Hansen-Soulie, with old Military buildings on your left, cross over the tramway tracks on your left and follow straight. Turn left at the second lights into the Triomflaan. You can enter the campus through the third entry, ENTRY 6. 2. Highway E411 - Namur. Follow the viaduct at the end of the highway, arriving at the DELTA Bus Depot. Turn right at the traffic lights and follow the Triomflaan until ENTRY 6. Turn left over the central division into the campus. Watch out for other traffic! If you arrive from somewhere near, maybe you don't need to take the Ring. Other possible ways of getting here by secondary roads are shown on the map above. ! If you use your GPS notice that there are 2 steets named Pleinlaan 2 in Brussels. Please make sure that you use the coordinates “Pleinlaan 2, 1050 Elsene”. By Train Take a taxi from any station or switch to Metro in Central station and go to station Petillon, or to station Etterbeek by train. CHIS Department We are located on the 5th Floor of Building G at the campus Etterbeek - Oefenplein of the VUB, as can be seen from the map below. The building G can be reached most easily from the Triomflaan where one takes Exit 6. The building is some 250 meters further down the road. Take the elevator at entrance (Rotule) 6 to the 5th Floor and you will immediately end up at the Department of Chemical Engineering. Another possibility is coming from the Pleinlaan where you can take Exit 13 and follow until you reach the last building where you enter Rotule 6. If you come from the Etterbeek Railway Station you'll enter the campus from Exit 11 and just have to follow the directions to Building G. Triomflaan Pleinlaan
