Directions to
get to UTS, Building 4:
Tell taxi drivers to take you to the ABC Building
on Harris St. Most know where that is. Cross the
road at the lights and you are at the Science
Faculty (UTS, Building 4).
From
Darling Harbour, walk through to Tumbalong
Park and through Chinatown to Ultimo Rd until you
reach Harris St (ask for a map at your hotel). Turn
left and you will see the shiny silver Science
Faculty building on the corner ahead of you. It’s an
8-10 minute walk. Or catch a cab ($7-10 depending on
traffic)!
The UTS City campus, Broadway, is
close to
Central railway station. After alighting at
Central Station take the exits to Railway
Square/George Street (via the "Devonshire Tunnel", a
pedestrian tunnel). Turn left at Railway Square
(towards the big brown tower that says UTS!) and
walk one block to Harris St, cross at the lights
and turn right at the Co-op bookshop (UTS Broadway
campus). Walk down the road until you get to Thomas
St. You should be outside the Science Faculty
building (Building 4) with the ABC building across
the road.
If you catch any
bus that
goes to Railway Square (George St), turn
towards the big brown tower that says UTS and walk
one block to Harris St, cross at the lights and
turn right at the Co-op bookshop (UTS Broadway
campus). Walk down the road until you get to Thomas
St. You should be outside the Science Faculty
building (Building 4, shiny and silver) with the ABC
building across the road.
It is easiest to
enter
Building 4 from the corner of Thomas and Harris Sts
and make your way to the lifts or use the stairs
directly in front of you as registration is at the
top of these stairs on Level 2. Do not use the
entrance and lifts that are halfway up the building
on Harris St as these are pin-coded and you will get
stuck on Level 4.
Below is a link to the campus map:
http://www.uts.edu.au/about/mapsdirections/citymap.html
The
registration desk and workshop rooms are on
Level 2; at the top of the stairs in the main
entrance.
