Help Us Build The 2023 Campus
The Cergy Campus has been undergoing a major transformation in recent months and three new eco-responsible buildings are beginning to emerge in line with ESSEC's “Together” strategy.
It is an environmentally friendly campus at the cutting edge of innovation, with the bio-climatic dual shell of the Research Green Tower, rainwater recovery for sanitary facilities and the irrigation of green spaces. The project also includes the pedestrianisation of the entire campus with the creation of new landscaped areas and increased biodiversity, the installation of photovoltaic panels, composters and organic gardens, etc.
Out of the €6 million contribution of the Foundation to date to the Campus 2023 project, €328,000 was donated by ESSEC Alumni following their crowdfunding initiative organised in November 2021, a donor matching campaign during which ESSEC Alumni doubled the donations from donors.
This campaign has helped to raise awareness of the project among alumni, based on the “Together” pillar of ESSEC’s strategy.
“Acting together” is also the motto of the foundation, which thanks ESSEC Alumni for its mobilization.
The Pierre Nanterme Center for Responsible Leadership will house next-generation classrooms and a space dedicated to entrepreneurship.
The Research Green Tower will be the home of academic excellence and cutting-edge research.
The Sports and Recreation Centre will have a modern and versatile sports infrastructure with a large multi-sport hall, a climbing wall and a rooftop tennis court.
