The campus of the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) is one of the fastest growing in the world. The Shanghai Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) lists this institute of higher education together with Cambridge University as one of the best in Europe for engineering, technology and computer science. Die EPFL wants to improve this position and become one of the few institutes to become a world leader. The Rolex Learning Center is the latest figurehead on this demanding path. The architects have created a space to facilitate personal encounters and in which the students can not only learn, but also "live in" between 7 am and midnight. Vitra furniture adds an inspiring touch to this atmosphere.
