Getting here by car

To begin with, we suggest that you program your navigator for finding the KANC: Korea Advanced Nanofab Center, which is nearby us and which is included in many navigation systems. On the map to the right you see the KANC and by zooming out on that map and the map above you can understand where we are with respect to KANC (sorry, moving the map doesn't work).

From Seoul you would start by driving onto the Gyeongbu highway for Busan, and leave it at the East Suwon I.C. exit. If you don't have a navigation system, we suggest you contact us in advance for more detailed information.

Getting here by public transport

The following buses can take you close to the GSCST:

From Sadang Station (exit 4): 7000, 7001, 7002
From Gangnam Station (exit 6): 3002, 3007
From Jamsil Station & Yangjae Station : 1007, 1007-1 (disclaimer: the webmaster of this site has never tried this connection so no guarantees offered!)
From Suwon Station (walk to the left after exiting the station building, do not cross the street): 720-2

Buses from Seoul typically take about 40 minutes, buses from Suwon station about 20 minutes, but depending on traffic it can go faster or it can take more time. Depending on which bus you take you need to get off at different stops, and you will have different distances to walk. The buses that arrive the closest to us are 7002, 3002 and 720-2. For these buses you get off at a stop called Gwanggyo Techno Valley (광교톄크노밸리) and then you are 3 minutes by foot from us, so it should be easy enough to find. The 720-2 runs frequently but the two other buses only about once an hour, so these might be tricky to catch.
For getting here from Seoul you are therefore more likely to catch the 7000, 7001 or 3007 buses, in which case you need to get off at the Gyeonggi University stop, "Gyeonggi Dä Ho Mun", or 경기대후문. The tricky bit is that you now need to walk some 10 minutes via a path that currently goes via a construction site. You might be able to find your way on your own with a map on your mobile device, but we recommend that you contact us so that one of us can meet you at the bus stop.
