IÉSEG announces the expansion of its Paris La-Defense Campus
11/25/2015
The project of this new 8000 m² building at La Défense business district, which is just 200m away from the current campus in Grande Arche, has been entrusted to the agency EQUERRE and Franklin Azzi Architecture, a renowned agency which has worked on various projects in France (such as the “Ecole des Beaux Arts” in Nantes) and internationally.
The building will include a lecture theater (290 seats), several classrooms developed specifically for interactive learning, offices, a cafeteria and trading room.
This investment will enable our School, which has campuses in Lille and Paris-La Défense, to continue its development: the total number of students (on both campuses) has grown from 2,400 in 2010 to 4,300 this year. When finalized in September 2017, our Paris-La Defense campus will be able to welcome nearly twice as many students and staff (on a 14 000m² campus) than at present. IÉSEG has also recently finalized a new 2000m² building on its historic campus in Lille and plans to further extend it in the next years.
Jean-Philippe Ammeux, Director of IÉSEG, explains: « This investment will allow us in the coming years to pursue our strategy of growth and diversification of the programs we offer to students and professionals. We will be able to welcome an increasing number of students and academics on a magnificent campus in the heart of La Defense, a leading European business district.”
