Nytt bygg på 18,993 kvm

The Campus des Nations extension project involved the construction of a new building on an 18,993 square metre site in Grand-Saconnex. This new structure complements an existing school building erected in 2004-2005, expanding the school's premises to meet new specific needs as described in the program. The architectural plan, continuing the trend set by the original building, was designed by CCHE Architecture et Design SA.

Fem etasjer med avanserte fundamenter

The new building maintains the layering approach of the original structure, spanning five storeys. It includes a semi-subterranean mineral base (floors 0, 1, and 2) housing service and sports facilities, a transparent mezzanine floor (floor 3) for open living spaces in line with the school's educational vision, and two upper levels (floors 4 and 5) that reflect the modem style of the initial facade. Given the poor quality of the site, advanced foundation techniques were necessary to support the new construction. The design of the facades minimizes the mass effect of the elongated building.

Materialer og lys skaper rolig miljø

The extension adheres to the functional and aesthetic standards set by the previous construction. Internal spaces, circulation routes, common areas, and ample natural light are consistent with earlier principles. Materials such as exposed concrete, painted walls, metal and plaster suspended ceilings, and resin flooring contribute to a calm and high-quality atmosphere. The exterior features a new 540 square metre sports field and a car park for minibuses on the west side of the sports hall.

Ferdigstilt juni 2011

The project, managed by Aris Serbetis Architecte et Atelier KM-S, began in June 2010 and was completed in June 2011. This expansion not only enhances the functional capabilities of the campus but also aligns with its modern architectural vision while addressing specific academic needs.
