Campus central de Strasbourg

The Central Campus is a university facility in the Esplanade district with multiple academic buildings, research centers, and student services near the historic city center. The various structures are distributed across the grounds to provide spaces for teaching, research, and student life.

The university began in 1538 with the creation of the Jean-Sturm Gymnasium, which later became a full university in 1621. The institution experienced periods of French and German control throughout its development.

The campus sits within a district shaped by French architectural styles, with spacious plazas between buildings serving as gathering spots for students. It forms part of the city's daily life and creates opportunities for interaction through its green spaces and open areas.

The grounds offer dining facilities, sports centers, medical services, and study areas spread across various buildings. Visitors should allow enough time to explore the sprawling area and maintain their bearings on site.

The institution houses an extensive library system holding millions of academic resources and research materials. These collections rank among France's most comprehensive scientific holdings.
