ESSEC’s Next Generation campus is a revolution! The campus was conceived to meet the needs of our students, to facilitate collective intelligence and to create a space for innovation, transdisciplinarity, and global openness.
This campus was born from a profound transformation that links heritage and innovation, and reflects our strong commitment to the Cergy area, serving value creation and fostering sustainable and responsible development. It is a credit to the strength of the ESSEC community, with donors playing a key role in making this dream a reality.
Excellence cannot exist without responsibility. Together, we are building the future of ESSEC: driven by excellence and dedicated to shared progress.
Vincenzo Vinzi, Dean and President of ESSEC Business School
The Grand Hall is the very first space visitors discover at ESSEC and far more than a passageway. Since 1973, it has been a vibrant meeting point, filled with memories and connections for generations of students and faculty. Fully renovated and reopened in January 2025, the Hall has been completely transformed.
This brand-new 3,000 m² building is fully dedicated to active learning, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Designed to transform the student experience, it embodies a new way of learning, creating, and leading — in line with the values of Pierre Nanterme, ESSEC alumnus and former CEO of Accenture.
A landmark of the next generation campus, the Research Green Tower embodies both academic excellence and environmental commitment at ESSEC. Dedicated to research and collaboration it is directly connected to the Grand Hall and linked to key buildings on campus.
Inaugurated in April 2023 the Sports & Recreation Center has quickly become a central hub of student life at ESSEC. This 2,700 m² facility is more than just a sports facility, it is a place for balance, cooperation, and personal growth.
