On 9 October 2025, ESSCA formally opened its new campus in Aix-en-Provence. This site has been conceived as far more than a mere building: it embodies an educational vision, a commitment to the region, and a promise to future generations.
A new campus in Aix-en-Provence that connects the city, its students and the wider world
As Claire Bourgeois, Director of the campus, emphasised, this new space has been designed to foster well-being, creativity, engagement and openness. It forms part of a multi-campus strategy, firmly rooted in both its local and international surroundings, and resolutely forward-looking.
Throughout the day, students, staff members, partners, journalists, and regional representatives had the opportunity to explore a vibrant ecosystem where learning, innovation, culture, and civic responsibility converge. The event was punctuated by thought-provoking talks, artistic performances and rich exchanges.
