The SwissTech Convention Center and the adjoining SwissTech Hotel are conveniently placed at the centre of the EPFL campus - situated on the shores of Lake Geneva, surrounded by the majestic summits of the Alps; but the building itself is the main attraction. The famous architectural firm of Richter Dahl Rocha is behind its innovative design, having imagined the convention centre as a modular structure – an organism capable of adapting to any group and event.
