Swiss Tech Convention Center, Convention center in Ecublens, Switzerland
The Swiss Tech Convention Center is a convention center on the EPFL campus in Ecublens, Switzerland. It features a large glass facade with vertical mullions, a dark overhanging roof, and a lower level with green panels and a concrete ramp.
The Swiss Tech Convention Center opened in 2014 after construction starting in 2012. It was built as part of the Quartier Nord development to provide a modern venue for international events.
The center hosts EPFL graduation ceremonies and the PolyLAN gaming event, which bring students and locals together. Its flexible spaces often adapt to community gatherings, from science fairs to public lectures.
The center is easy to reach by public transport, with a metro station and bus stops close by. Once inside, clear signs and staff help you find the main auditorium and meeting rooms.
The west facade is covered with transparent solar panels using Grätzel cell technology, a first for a public building. The main auditorium can transform from a flat floor to tiered seating in about 15 minutes.
