The Department of International Polish Studies takes its residence in the the building of the former Royal Arsenal, immediately across from Wawel castle, located at ul. Grodzka 64. The Department of IPS occupies the second floor of what is today a modernist building that still possesses its baroque portals. It is in this building that the Department's adminstration office, seminar rooms, and library (all on the second floor) are found.

The administration office is situated in room 209. Seminar rooms are stationed in rooms 207 and 208. The library is situated at the end of the hall on the second floor.

It takes approximately 15 minutes travelling time by tram to reach the tram stop, named 'Wawel,' located outside of the building at ul. Grodzka 64. You can take tram no. 8 direct from tram stop 'Uniwersytet Pedagogiczny,' which is the closest tram stop to Piast (find it on a map).
