Avoid the direction Gent Centrum. Once located under the viaduct, take the extreme left lane and make a left turn at the first trafic light, direction 'Zelzate / Eeklo'. You are now on the inner ring-road around the city. Continue the main ring-road direction 'Zelzate / Eeklo' (St. Lievenslaan, Citadellaan, Ch. De Kerckhovelaan, Ijzerlaan, Godshuizenlaan, Martelaarslaan) until the 8th traffic light which is located before an impressive apartment building. Turn right just before the church into the Nieuwewandeling, continue until you reach the next trafic lights just before the canal Coupure links and turn right. After 350m on the right hand side you will see the entrance of the campus of the faculty. If you enter the domain through the gate, you will find the main entrance to building A in front of you.
