University (UNIL), Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), specialised higher education institutions, vocational training colleges of great renown – devoted to the hotel industry, business management and plastic arts in particular – prestigious international private schools: Lausanne has an air of youthfulness. It is a city of study in which children from all over the world come to learn… and, on account of the associated social, cultural, sporting and amusement infrastructure inspired by youth for youth, it is a young city.
The Dorigny campus on the shore of Lake Geneva unites the University and Institute of Technology in an idyllic setting. Thanks to the expert skill and intellectual power invested there, it is a cutting-edge research centre, particularly in the areas of biotechnology, telecommunications and cancer. A true hothouse for talents, the campus propagates new shoots and features a study and meeting centre in a futuristic building designed by Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa.
