My office at the School of Information Technology and Engineering, University of Ottawa, is located on the 4th floor of the SITE bulding at 800 King Edward. This is one of the southernmost buildings of campus. It is very visible as one approaches downtown from highway 417 and Nicholas street.

My room number is 4-051E.  On the 4th floor, look for lab 4-051, towards the center of the balcony. You will find a closed door beside a glass window. Knock on the door and someone may answer you. Or call 613-562-5800 x 6704, which is my office extension.

Here is a map of campus, including a map of downtown Ottawa.

To get here on foot from downtown (about 15 minutes). Take the pathway on the East side of the Canal, along Colonel By Drive. When you get near Marie Curie (which is at the end of Somerset Street East) you will see a tunnel on your left, which will enable you to pass under Nicholas and the Transitway. You can't miss this place, because there is a traffic light there, also you will see a construction in red steel and glass, the Campus transitway station. It is near the pedestrian bridge over the Canal. After the tunnel, take immediately right on the steps, walk past several buildings,  and you will soon see the large glass façade of the SITE building.

By city bus (find maps and schedules here).  To use the travel planner provided in this site, note that your destination is CAMPUS STATION.   Buses from Montreal stop either at Campus or at Laurier and Nicholas (usually... I can't guarantee...).

To get here from Hwy 417 (Queensway):

  • If you come from the East: take the Nicholas Street exit (you will see the tall chimney of the university and SITE's new building on the right as you approach the exit), then go  immediately right into the Mann Avenue exit.  This will take you  straight into King Edward.
  • If you come from the West: take the Nicholas Street exit, then go immediately right into the Lees Avenue exit.  Take left on Lees Avenue, you'll go over a bridge. You will eventually get into King Edward and Mann.

From King Edward, go on Marie Curie (traffic light), then enter the parking lot on the left and find parking meters there.  Other possibilities for parking are:

  • Pay parking near the intersection of Mann and King Edward
  • Underground pay parking at 100 Thomas More (and King Edward).
  • You can usually find free 2 or 3-hour parking if you are willing to drive a bit in the area east of campus, between the university and the Rideau river, or in the streets around Greenfield Avenue: Montcalm Street, Havelock Street etc.
