Not so long ago, Excelia unveiled its plans for an ultra-modern campus in Tours. The building is set to open in 2025, marking a major milestone in the school’s development, providing students and employees with a state-of-the-art learning and working environment.
Located in the thriving 2 Lions district of Tours, Excelia’s new campus will be right in the heart of a fast-growing area which is already home to other higher education establishments and company headquarters. This strategic location will make for valuable synergies between the various establishments whilst strengthening the campus’s links with the local economy.
Comprising a total surface area of 5,300 m², the campus will be equipped with state-of-the-art facilities to meet the needs of students and employees alike. It will feature a 200-seat amphitheatre for lectures and presentations, encouraging discussion and debate. Coworking spaces will be available to promote collaboration and creativity, whilst connected classrooms will provide an interactive and innovative learning environment.
