SISSA buildings
For the moment (this means it is going to change soon) SISSA has buildings in three locations. Starting in Spring 2010 SISSA sectors are going to be moved to Villa Opicina (also known as Santorio or Sanatorio).
Currently (as of February 2010) SISSA sectors are located as follows:
Location | Sectors | Bus Lines |
---|---|---|
Miramare | AM, CM, EP, FA, MP, SBP | 36 |
Stock | CN | 36,6,8,5 |
Basovizza | NB | 39, 51 |
Opicina | None | 2, 4, 4/, 38 |
The map below shows the location of SISSA buildings and of the train station (Trieste Centrale)
Miramare
One is the main campus known as Physics Center in Miramare, which includes also ICTP buildings (SISSA students can use some of the ICTP provided services among those listed here). There are three SISSA buildings in this campus : Main Building, New Building and Bellavista Building. In the Main Building one can find Mathematical Physics, Elementary Particle Theory , Condensed Matter Theory,Astrophysics , Functional Analysis and Applications sectors and administrative offices (Students' Secretariat, and Sector secretariats etc.). Regarding facilities, SISSA's Library and Computer Help desk can also be found in the Main Building. In the New Building there are Condensed Matter Theory and Statistical and Biological Physics sectors. In Bellavista Building there are many offices of PhD students and the Tactile Perception and Learning Lab of the Cognitive Neuroscience Sector. Don't try to find offices of your friends at the locations I mentioned according to their sectors since they can be in any building. In order to locate someone's office check the phonebook.
Roiano - Stock
SISSA also has offices and laboratories in the Stock Building in Roiano where Cognitive Neuroscience Sector is located. It is rather difficult to find as it is a small hidden bulding. When you are in Via Lionello Stock going towards Viale Miramare after the bridge there is a big main door on your left. Enter the door and you will see a courtyard and there you will see a big market if you take the stairs. The building is just beside the market. (You may need these directions if you want to take part in an experiment:)).
Basovizza
Third location is Basovizza Science Park where Neurobiology Sector is located.
Opicina - Santorio
The new Santorio Building in Opicina is currently empty. Each sector will be moved as a whole according to a schedule that is still being drafted.
