Discover the emblematic campus of reconstruction. Following its destruction in July 1944, the university was rebuilt by architect Henry Bernard. Inaugurated in June 1957, it is now one of Europe?s most modern universities, extending over a large campus. The result is a university that is open to the city and rooted in the long term: medieval references, references to classical architecture, Norman roots and modern functionalism. This ambitious real estate project finds its continuity in its artistic program, which brings together engravers, cabinetmakers, sculptors and painters to offer the university community comfort and beauty.
