- Take the metro uphill, in the direction called "Croisettes" and get off in the first stop called "Lausanne-Flon".
- There, transfer to what is called the TSOL or M1 (departures every 10 minutes) , with the same ticket. Get off at the EPFL station (the journey from the train station to the EPFL station is approx. 30 minutes long).

By car:
From Geneva
Approximately 10 kms before Lausanne, you will have the choice between two directions. Take "Lausanne Sud" and then follow the "UNIL - EPFL" exit. You are now on the "Route du Lac"; continue straight-ahead. A few hundred meters later, you will see a street on your right indicating "UNIL Sorge, UNIL-EPFL Livraisons". Don't take this street! Instead, take the next one which is located just before a traffic light. You should see a strange statue within a traffic circle. Turn around the circle (3/4 round). Building BC is the last building on your right.From Bern
You have to take the direction Geneva until you find a sign indicating "Lausanne Sud". Then proceed as above.The Google Maps website can be helpful too.
