Ever imagine a physics department needing a building superintendent? Well, the Physics Building at the University of Athens does. His name is Christos Kyrkos, and he keeps this five-section, five-level behemoth running smoothly. This Physics Building, part of the University of Athens’ School of Science complex, isn’t just a place for lectures and labs. It’s a hub of activity, with a constant flow of students and faculty navigating its intricate structure. The main entrance, near the Zografou gate, is on level -12. Yes, you read that right, -12. The building extends both above and below ground level. Getting here is an adventure in itself. You can catch a bus from Evangelismos station and get off at the main University Campus entrance, then walk uphill for about 800 meters. Or, for a more direct route, take the 250 or E90 bus and get off at the “Physics” stop, just 100 meters from the building. The Physics Building at the University of Athens has a rich history. Initially, physics was taught within the School of Philosophy when the university was established in 1837. The first dedicated Physics Laboratory wasn’t set up until 1890, in a separate building on Solonos Street in central Athens. Much later, the department moved to the University Campus in Zografou. Today, the Physics Building stands as a testament to the university’s commitment to scientific advancement. If you need to contact the department during your visit, the secretariat is open Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12:00 to 14:00.
