Campus 2 de Caen, Science and technology university campus in Caen, France
Campus 2 de Caen is a university site north of the city with teaching buildings, research facilities, and student housing spread across the grounds. The Rosalind Franklin Library serves as a central hub for study and research on campus.
Construction began in the late 1960s when the French Ministry of Education acquired land to accommodate the growing student population. The project emerged from the need for expanded higher education facilities in the region.
The campus maintains educational partnerships through ERASMUS+ programs, enabling students to participate in international academic exchanges while completing their studies.
The site is accessible by the T2 tram line, which has its terminal station on campus grounds. Additional bus services run nearby, providing alternative connections to the city.
The facility houses 5,235 students representing 21 percent of Caen's university population, focusing on sciences, sports education, and engineering programs.
