New agreement protects EPFL's built environment and keeps it dynamic
EPFL’s original buildings (1969‑1984) and surrounding areas were classified as historical monuments. An agreement between EPFL, Vaud Canton, and the ETH Board will preserve the 20th‑century architecture while allowing the campus to adapt and renovate for future needs. The agreement balances heritage protection with flexibility for research, teaching, and innovation.
