Architectural Landmarks in Lausanne - EPFL/UNIL Campus

The University of Lausanne (UNIL) traces its origins to 1537, when it was founded as a school of theology. Since 1969, the university has gradually relocated its main campus towards the former Dorigny countryside, near the shores of Lake Geneva. This new location allows the different faculties to occupy distinct, autonomous buildings while preserving the surrounding forests and green spaces. The École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) is located slightly further to the west. Together both institutions serve about 25,000 students. Let's explore some of the remarkable architecture on these campuses, including buildings designed by world-renowned architects such as SANAA and Kengo Kuma.
