09/20/2017
In the framework of its strategic plan 2016-2021 and its 2025 Vision, IÉSEG School of Management has invested in the construction of a new 8 000m² building at Paris-La Défense. This new building opened its doors this September.
Situated on the “Promenade de l’Arche” – in the heart of La Défense and at just 200m from the original facility (6 000 m² in the base of the Grande Arche) – this new building means the School’s Parisian campus has grown to 14 000 m², and has nearly doubled its capacity (in terms of students and staff).
This new 7-storey building represents part of the School’s goal to offer its students a unique learning experience and to continue its development on both national and international levels.
