Nestled in the heart of the Bièvre Valley, the HEC campus embodies the living archive of modern tensions between nature and knowledge, heritage and forward-thinking. In a world undergoing transition, the school chooses to revisit this exceptional environment and integrate it into a sustainable, inclusive, and ambitious strategy. PCA-STREAM proposes a project that is both contextual and transformative: restoring coherence to a fragmented domain, reactivating landscape and social continuities, and creating a new embodied centrality : the Campus Heart, to give form to the HEC of the 21st century. A place of learning in and with the landscape. A campus aligned with its time.

At emlyon’s upcoming Gerland campus, which welcomed its inaugural students in September 2024, we’ve arranged the buildings around a spacious interior street and a spectacular central hub—Cœur Battant, the “beating heart” of the campus—where daily activities and key school events will converge. Every element is designed to foster interaction, serendipity, and collective intelligence. The campus opens itself up to the city, as well as to businesses and events. It is fully aligned with the environmental dynamics of the Gerland District as well, with its extensive garden and commonsense approach to sustainability, exemplified by its uncomplicated and efficient facades adorned with terraces and inviting outdoor walkways.
