Arriving at the University (ETSIT)

• Taxi
  Be aware that there are several Universities in Madrid with all the schools and departments "conveniently" disseminated throughout the city! You should ask the driver to go to:

 -----------------------------------------------------
     Translation:

Telecommunication Engineering School
In the Paraninfo (sport fields) of the University Campus
(It is located at the end of the Paraninfo,
in the only building made of black slate)

 -----------------------------------------------------

• Underground
  The underground station Ciudad Universitaria, on line 6 (grey), is the closest to ETSIT (1 km away approximately). From here, there is a 10-15 minutes walk to ETSIT, but you can also take the bus routes 82, U or G, as explained below. The bus stop is located in Complutense Ave., just in the way out from the underground station.
   
• Bus
  All the following bus routes share a stop just at the ETSIT. Ask the driver for the "Teleco" stop.
   

  Route 82	From Moncloa (start point at Meléndez Valdés St., near Princesa Ave.). To return to Moncloa you have to take the bus in front of the Facultad de Derecho, just at the other side of the sports area.
  Route U	From Ciudad Universitaria.
  Route G	From Moncloa. To return to Moncloa you have to take the bus in front of the Facultad de Derecho, just at the other side of the sports area.
  Route F	From Cuatro Caminos. To return to Cuatro Caminos you have to take the bus in front of the Facultad de C. Biológicas.

   

• Car
  The ETSIT has its own free parking area, but it is frequently saturated.
  • From Moncloa: Arco de Triunfo, Arco de la Victoria Ave. (N-VI), Plaza del Cardenal Cisneros and Complutense Ave..
  • From N-VI road: Plaza del Cardenal Cisneros and Complutense Ave.
  • From Cuatro Caminos: Reina Victoria Ave., Beatriz de Bobadilla St., Ramiro de Maeztu St., Gregorio del Amo St., and Complutense Ave. Return: Complutense Ave., Gregorio del Amo St., Moncloa Ave. and Reina Victoria Ave.
  • From M-30, and also from N-VI: Exit Dehesa de la Villa, Dehesa de la Villa road (Eje Puerta de Hierro - Sinesio Delgado), Exit Ciudad Universitaria, Complutense Ave. (going around of the sports area).
     

Once at the ETSIT

The buildings of the Telecommunication Engineering School are located on a small hill overlooking the surrounding campus (Ciudad Universitaria). You can also see a pictorial view of the campus showing the different buildings.

On leaving the bus, you will see a slope, that you have to climb. A taxi will typically drop you half way up that slope, between the two oldest buildings, which are grey and connected together by a fly-over: Building A (now baptized "Sanz Mancebo") will be on your right when going up the slope, and Building B ("García Redondo") on your left.

To go to the premises of the GTI-UPM, go past Building B to the newer Building C ("López Araújo"), which is located further left, and look for lab C-306 on the third floor.

ETSIT-C VRML guided tour

Thanks to the excellent work of some of our students, we can proudly offer you a virtual tour of ETSIT's Building C, in which you will be guided to the premises of the GTI-UPM. To enjoy it, you must have the following SW installed in your PC:

• A Java-enabled MSIE (MicroSoft Internet Explorer). The JVM (Java Virtual Machine) can be either the one from MS or the one from Sun, but you can't use another web browser instead of MSIE, as some features of our VRML tour won't work -- we're sorry about that...


• ParallelGraphics Cortona VRML client: a plug-in for the most common web browsers which is publicly available on-line.


• Our Java classes set, which are also available on-line, archived as GTItour.jar (328 KB):
  1. Download this archive to your local directory DIR (e.g., C:\tmp). If you're using MSIE already, make sure it saves the archive as DIR\GTItour.jar, and not DIR\GTItour.zip, as it has an annoying inclination towards the latter...
  2. Add DIR\GTItour.jar to your CLASSPATH environment variable. This can be done, in MS Windows XP (in other versions of MS Windows it's similar), through its menu Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables: if you already have CLASSPATH defined, Edit it and append ;DIR\GTItour.jar (note the «;») to its current value; if not, create a New variable named CLASSPATH with value DIR\GTItour.jar (no «;» here).

Once you have your CLASSPATH environment variable correctly pointing at our Java classes set, restart your now VRML-aware MSIE, feed it with our interactive 3D model of ETSIT's Building C and enjoy. At some points in the tour, floating menus will pop up giving access to further multimedia information related to ETSIT or GTI.
