Epfl
The EPFL is a university for science and engineering in Lausanne, Switzerland, stretching along Lake Geneva. The campus combines modern buildings, green areas, and public spaces where students and researchers work together throughout the day.
The university was founded in 1969 as part of a reorganization of Swiss higher education and quickly developed into a center for science and technology. Over the following decades, the institution expanded and attracted students and researchers from around the world.
The university hosts students and researchers from more than 130 countries who work together and speak many languages in daily life. A language center offers courses in French, German, Italian, and English so everyone can communicate easily on campus.
A metro station is located right at the campus, so public transport makes it easy to reach the site. The grounds are large, so comfortable shoes and enough time for walking around are recommended.
The campus is home to the Rolex Learning Center, a building with flowing curves and wide open spaces that serves as both a library and a meeting place. The architecture draws many visitors who come to see the unusual design and walk through the bright interior rooms.
