Point of entry to Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), the Learning Center is a place to learn, access information and live. A place where virtual and physical components are combined. Its very concept includes the flexibility and growth potential to evolve and follow the pedagogical, social and technical trends of the School. It houses the EPFL Library, providing the 10'000 students on campus with 900 working seats arranged in various configurations: silence space for personal work, quiet space for collaborative work and sound-proofed rooms for group work. The Library is public and offers free access to its 500'000 volumes and over 1 million online documents, focused on the School topics: fundamental and applied sciences, and architecture. Besides the Library are 3 restaurants, a bookshop and a multi-purpose hall, next to the EPFL Press, a laboratory for the use of technology in didactics, student and alumni associations and a Career Center.
