Polydôme EPFL

The Polydôme is an event building on the EPFL campus with multiple halls designed for conferences and presentations. The rooms feature modern equipment and flexible layouts that adapt to different gathering sizes and formats.

The building opened in 1990 as part of EPFL's campus expansion, showing a new direction for scientific events in Switzerland. Its construction was an important step in supporting knowledge exchange at the institution.

Researchers and students from many countries meet here for scientific conferences, discussions, and academic presentations throughout the year. The spaces are designed to bring together people working on scientific questions.

The building sits directly next to the EPFL Metro station and has parking nearby plus full accessibility for people with limited mobility. Visitors can easily walk from public transport and reach all areas without difficulty.

The interior spaces have specialized acoustic elements that make simultaneous translation into multiple languages possible during international conferences. This feature is often unknown to visitors but greatly valued by organizers of multilingual events.
