How to reach us

Our address

Driving:
If you are driving, take 75/85 to 10th Street, check School of Physics directions to campus. Count on an Atlanta traffic jam.

From Hartsfield Atlanta Airport to Georgia Tech:

• Train: If your luggage is light, MARTA, the cheapest form of public transportation (train fare: $1.75), is by far the fastest way to get to midtown (20 min).  Get off at Midtown station.
  Then 3 solutions to reach  the Center:
  • During the day, every 7 minutes or so the a yellow trolley gets you from the Midtown MARTA station to the School of Physics, on your left as you get off the trolley.
  • 17 minutes brisk walk from MARTA's Midtown station to CNS secretary's door: walk west across Interstate 75/85, contemplating 17 lanes of traffic jam, walk 3 long blocks to State Street, turn left, walk 2 blocks until School of Physics main entrance is on your left, parking lot on your right, and State Street ends.
  •  Take one of the MARTA bus (number 12 or 37) from Midtown station and ask the bus driver to stop at the intersection between 10th Street and State Street, then walk a couple of minutes down State Street to reach the Physics building.
• Taxis: The ride to Georgia Tech takes from 20 to 50 minutes, depending on the traffic congestion. Flag any cab at the taxi lane. The fare to Georgia Tech is roughly $28 + ca. 15%tip
  • If you have to call a taxi from location other than Hartsfield, Lenox Cabs 404-872-2600 dispatchers are reliable. Avoid Checkers Cab 404-351-1111 which will put you on endless hold.
  • Tell the driver to bring you to the School of Physics at Georgia Tech, 837 State Street. The School of Physics institute is a large red brick, post-WW2 institutional building (see item 81 on the Georgia Tech campus map). State street ends in a parking lot; enter through the parking lot level main entrance on your left.
• Airport Car Rental: Call your travel or rental agency.

• School of Physics offices: take elevator to first floor, wander. Offices are to your right.
• CNS, Fox, Uzer, Wiesenfeld, Cvitanovic': take elevator to the 5th floor - floor plan
