By train, taxi or bus

Please pay attention to the fact that you have to take first the train to Leuven and not to Louvain-la-neuve (Louvain-la-neuve is situated near Wavre and houses the French speaking equivalent of the Katholieke Universiteit).

In the station of Leuven you can board the local train which goes to Wavre and Louvain-la-Neuve. The first station is that of Heverlee. If you get out there it is a ten minute walk to ESAT.

At Leuven station, you can take a taxi (this will cost between 10 and 15 Euro and will take 5-10 minutes).
You can also take bus 2 "Heverlee Campus" in the direction "Kantien/Campus" (the bus stops on the Kantien square, 150m of our building).
Yet another alternative is to take the train from Leuven in the direction of Wavres/Louvain-la-Neuve!) till Heverlee train station (1 stop) and then walk to ESAT (see above).

At the "Kantien" you will see the park with the Arenberg Castle in front of you. Enter the park, the first building on your right hand side is the building of the Department of Electrical Engineering.
