In September 2017, CentraleSupélec has inaugurated its new campus in Saclay, Gif-sur-Yvette, which consists of four buildings, two of which are are brand new, and a total of 105,000 m2. The spaces are designed to promote interdisciplinary exchanges, collaboration and innovation.

Major facilities such as student housing, a learning center, a library, a gymnasium and sports fields will complement this space which, in the long term, will be clustered with ENS Paris-Saclay and Université Paris-Sud, on the Plateau du Moulon. Located 25km south of Paris, it will attract more than 30 000 people, including 8000 students and employees in the public and private sectors.

The Saclay campus of CentraleSupélec consist of 4 buildings:

  • The Breguet building, with 40,000 m2 dedicated to teaching and research, which was built in 1974 and will soon be renovated
  • The GeePs, the Paris Electrical and Electronics Engineering Laboratory, located on Rue Joliot Curie on the Plateau du Moulon
  • The Eiffel Building, a new building of more than 40,000 m2 designed by the Dutch architectural agency OMA, which is managed by Rem Koolhaas. Known as the Eiffel Building, it is set to be a place for work and informal exchanges that will mix traditional teaching contexts with and spaces for collaborative work, laboratories, offices and catering.
  • The Bouygues Building, a second new building of approximately 25,000 m2, designed by the Swiss architectural firm Gigon / Guyer, which is used for teaching and research activities, as well as shared areas at the neighborhood level : a sports complex, teaching rooms, etc.

""This modern, avant-garde campus, connected to its neighborhood, city and world, will be one of the major attractions of the school."

Saclay 2.0: the sponsorship campaign dedicated to the new campus

 

With the support of some 60 partner companies and 3,500 graduates, the Ecole Centrale Paris Foundation in 2014 launched its new sponsorship campaign "Saclay 2.0", dedicated to the construction of the new CentraleSupélec campus. With the objective of bringing together, by 2010, 10% sponsorship of the construction budget, i.e. € 25 million. The campaign closed in 2015 with €16 million collected and 4,200 individual donors, demonstrating the alumni's attachment to their school and their enthusiasm for this magnificent project.

Commitment: Further Development of the Metz and Rennes Campuses

Although the success of the future Saclay campus is one of our key projects, we also place the further development of the Rennes and Metz campuses at the heart of our priorities. With 524 students, the Breton and Lorraine campuses shine through their research laboratories and their roots in the domains of SMEs and ETIs, which will play a major role in innovation and job creation.

Rennes campus

 

Since 1972, the CentraleSupélec campus in Rennes has been located in a sophisticated technological environment; the Rennes Atalante and MEITO technopole, where research centers, higher education institutions and leading corporations all come together. With 275 engineering students and 28 students in Specialized Masters, the campus hosts three specialised tracks: Automated Systems Engineering (ISA), Electronic Systems, Networks and Images (SERI), and Secure Information Systems (SIS).

The school also has 2 Specialized Masters: Cybersecurity (Security of Information Systems) in partnership with TELECOM Bretagne and Embedded Systems Architect. These academic activities are carried out in close liaison with the University of Rennes 1 within the doctoral school MATISSE and the Université Bretagne Loire.

CentraleSupélec, through its campus in Rennes, is also a founding member of the highly competitive hub Images et Réseaux and l'Institut de Recherche Technologique.

With the Rennes campus, CentraleSupélec is also a founding member of the Images & Réseaux international competitive cluster, as well as the Institute for Technological Research 

 

Metz campus

 

Opened in Lorraine in 1985, the CentraleSupélec campus in Metz has  221 students, spread over the three years of studies. The third-year options are open to all students of the School as part of inter-campus mobility. They cover the fields of "Photonics and Communication Systems" and "Interactive and Robotic Systems". The activities of continuing education and research are developed along the same themes, within the teaching and research teams of the campus.

The research teams on the Metz campus are IMS (Information, Multimodality & Signal) and OPTEL (Optics and electronics for telecoms). The Metz campus has an Associated Laboratory LMOPS: Laboratoire Matériaux Optiques, Photoniques et Systèmes with the University of Lorraine.
