The campus
A campus that embodies our ambitions
Already defined by the richness of its natural surroundings, the new HEC Paris campus will further strengthen the connection between nature and community.
More than a place of study, it is a living ecosystem where ideas, friendships, and careers take shape, where HEC nurtures enlightened, responsible, and globally minded leaders.
Today, HEC’s ambition extends far beyond the walls of its historic campus. We must rethink it to reflect the dynamism, diversity, and challenges of our time.
The future campus will combine excellence, inclusion, innovation, and sus
This project is our collective adventure for the decades ahead. The story begins now and it will be written on a grand scale if we all take part. I would like to thank our institutional partners, without whom none of this would have been possible: the Chamber, which has supported us from the very beginning, the Region and the Department, as well as the Banque des Territoires — all of whom have played a key role in financing this project.
The “Campus Heart” a vibrant space for future generations
A symbol of collective energy, the Campus Heart will bring together the essential areas of academic and student life.
Extending from the main Academic Building, it will feature welcoming areas designed to foster interaction and exchange, along with open, flexible, and innovative spaces, and a Grand Auditorium at its center.
Its remarkable and functional architecture emphasizes natural light and warm materials. The building embodies a new way of envisioning learning environments, in harmony with nature and centered on the student experience.
Our main mission was to design a central element that functions as a true connector, somewhat like a hand. This building therefore goes beyond its primary use: it is conceived to link together all parts of the campus — the historical buildings, the surrounding natural environment, as well as the various communities who bring it to life, including students, faculty, and researchers.
The Lower Campus
A hub of excellence in executive education
The Château and its surrounding buildings will be restored to their former splendor, forming a cohesive, open, and vibrant ensemble that will house all executive education activities.
Partially renovated, the Château will reclaim its central role, blending heritage and modernity in the service of advancing leaders from around the world.
The Communs will host HEC’s executive programs in spaces designed to foster exchange and learning. As a true driver of growth for HEC, this Executive Center will represent a strategic investment, reinforcing the School’s vitality and global reach.
A symbol of HEC’s influence, this renewed ensemble will bring together heritage and future, excellence and innovation.
We have chosen to rebuild only the parts of the buildings that are too deteriorated to be restored, such as the Grand Commun. Our preference is to reinvent and reconstruct these spaces while preserving their original volume and silhouette, in order to maintain their architectural memory. To achieve this, we are opting for natural and durable materials such as rammed earth — an ancestral material that offers excellent thermal performance and a low carbon footprint, used here in an innovative approach.
The ambition of the campus project is to bring our facilities up to the same level as the academic excellence of one of the world’s leading business schools.
