Six higher education schools, including Atelier de Sèvres, Penninghen and Cours Florent, have been gathered together on this campus, which opened in 2025 in buildings that date back to the 19th century. Developed by Galileo Global Education, the project was a collaboration with the architecture firm CALQ and the graphic design agency, H5. For the interiors, the studio’s design intent was to anchor the project in the past, while also projecting it resolutely into the future. Traditional elements were conserved, such as the wood-lined library and the red brick façades of the building gave rise to a palette dominated by reds and ochres. The furniture in the common areas is decidedly contemporary in both form and environmental concerns. Many pieces are made with recycled materials, such as compressed, cold-pressed brewers’ spent grain. The notion of modularity and fluidity is also central. Spaces were conceived to be used in various ways and the boundaries between each left deliberately tenuous to encourage exchanges and collaborations between students in different disciplines.
