This campus will be able to accommodate 2000 students with a wide portfolio of programs in initial training (ESPEME and EDHEC including a specialization in Financial Economics), a full-time MBA, a PhD in Finance, continuing education, and the globally renowned EDHEC Risk & Asset Management Research Centre.
The first phase of the expansion of the Nice International Campus will be completed by the start of 2010. This project is being carried out with the assistance of the Alpes-Maritimes General Council and Nice-Côte d’Azur. The architecture firm ABC Architectes, which also oversaw the construction of the current building, is the project manager for the extension. Renovation of the current building will be carried out in parallel with the work.
The Nice International Campus will span over 10,000 m2 of surface area, including 3,000 m2 of new construction on three floors. It will be equipped with a Prestige amphitheater with 300 modular seats, 12 other amphitheaters (including 3 new ones with 100 seats), classrooms and computer labs, a library, workspaces, a language lab, and a cafeteria. Innovative educational equipment will be found throughout the campus, including a trading room and an e-learning room.
The groundbreaking ceremony took place on Friday, April 17, 2009, at 2 p.m. at 400 Promenade des Anglais in Nice.
