This conference and meeting center cum hotel is a clear sign that EPFL now favors a policy of openness and development. The Rolex Learning Center, a futurist construction in the shape of a wave, contains a library, working areas, restaurants, conference rooms, as well as countless services available to the institute’s students and staff. The interior of the building features light wells, indoor hills and spectacular patios and is destined to mark the beginning of a new architectural era in the field of exchanging ideas and information.
