What will the campus be like in 2050? The Dorigny site resembles a small town, with some 35,000 students and staff. To anticipate, channel and reflect on this development, UNIL and EPFL decided to draw up a joint master plan, consulting campus users through discussion forums, an online survey and an exhibition.

Planète UNIL is a multi-platform application that makes it easy to get around the campus and discover its many resources.

This responsive application adapts to all devices (phones, tablets and computers) and is regularly updated; it is a real guide that can help locate a building, auditorium, car park or any other point of interest in Dorigny, CHUV or Epalinges.

It can also be used to plan a route, making it easy to get from one place to another on campus, and to share addresses using a QR code.

Finally, the location of the famous sheep flocks on the Dorigny campus is updated daily on Planète UNIL!

While the UNIL campus is home to numerous buildings and infrastructure elements, it also comprises vast expanses of greenery and forest, which Unibat maintains on a daily basis.

With a ‘population’ of around 20,000 people on its Dorigny site during the week, UNIL is a small town that produces a lot of waste. From paper and cardboard to PET, glass and neon lightbulbs but also coffee capsules, kitchen waste and green waste from the upkeep of green areas – everything is recycled.
