Pôle européen de gestion et d'économie, Academic complex in Strasbourg, France
The Pôle européen de gestion et d'économie is an educational complex in Strasbourg combining red brick construction with glass and steel modern features across multiple levels. The campus includes lecture halls, classrooms, computer facilities, and specialized spaces designed to support business and economics education.
Originally built between 1888 and 1892 as a military supplies warehouse, the structure served a strategic logistical purpose for the garrison. Extensive renovation work between 1997 and 1999 converted it into its current role as an educational institution.
The complex brings together the EM Strasbourg Business School and the Faculty of Economics and Management, creating a space where students from across Europe engage with business and economic studies. The bilingual teaching approach and international student body give the campus a distinctly European character.
The campus is designed for easy navigation, with distinct zones for different subject areas and clear signage throughout the buildings. Visitors should know that most facilities serve the student and faculty community, though some areas may be accessible with permission.
A striking chimney from the original military building remains standing in the courtyard, physically bridging the site's past as a garrison warehouse with its present role as a learning hub. Few visitors notice this surviving piece of industrial heritage amid the modern academic spaces.
