On September 18, Galileo Global Education inaugurated a new 20,000-square-meter multidisciplinary campus welcoming 3,600 students in the heart of Paris’s 5th arrondissement, in the presence of numerous partners and distinguished guests.
Located in the heart of the Latin Quarter, the Delta campus stands as an unprecedented model in the world of higher education. By reimagining an iconic historic site—the former AgroParisTech campus—it has become a unique place of convergence, where artistic creation, educational innovation, and academic excellence come together and enrich one another.
Spanning 20,000 square meters, the campus brings together six schools of excellence: Paris School of Business, Cours Florent, Atelier de Sèvres, IESA arts&culture, Penninghen, and Copernia. Their co-location goes far beyond symbolism. It establishes a deeply multidisciplinary educational ecosystem, designed to foster synergies across design, culture, management, performing arts, interior architecture, edtech, and animation.
The Delta campus was conceived through an approach still rare in higher education: a fully student-centered design. From spatial layout to services and amenities, every element was imagined by and for students. Inspired by design thinking methodologies, the campus offers an integrated living and learning environment, grounded in real uses and aligned with the aspirations of the 3,600 students who will bring it to life.
“The opening of the Delta campus marks a founding moment. In the heart of Paris, we have created a living place where disciplines meet and reinvent one another. This unique campus embodies our ambition to educate creative talents capable of addressing the challenges of tomorrow. Here, history fuels innovation and offers students an exceptional environment for growth and excellence.”
Marc-François Mignot-Mahon — Executive President
The Delta Campus is far more than a place of study: it is a true learning ecosystem. Its uniqueness lies in the co-location of six schools of excellence, each with complementary areas of expertise and united by a shared ambition—to educate creative, open-minded profiles ready to engage with the transformations of the contemporary world.
By sharing everyday campus life, students—designers, artists, actors, entrepreneurs, architects, and technologists—continuously learn from one another. This diversity generates a unique dynamic, where informal encounters and spontaneous exchanges spark new ideas. The campus becomes a laboratory for collective creation, grounded in openness and dialogue across disciplines.
In a rapidly evolving world of work, the ability to collaborate with diverse profiles has become a critical skill. At the Delta Campus, interdisciplinarity is a core pedagogical pillar. Through joint projects and exposure to different methods and perspectives, students develop transversal competencies that are highly sought after in today’s job market.
Campus spaces were designed to encourage the circulation of ideas, and academic programs to stimulate collaboration between schools. Shared modules, cross-disciplinary workshops, and collective events—exhibitions, hackathons, forums, performances—strengthen this ecosystem.
The STEP platform, a digital tool accessible to all students, complements this approach by facilitating collaboration, project coordination, and progress tracking across disciplines.
Conceived according to design thinking principles, the campus was shaped by real student needs and uses. Over six months, more than 50 hours of interviews, field observations, and international benchmarking informed the creation of a living, fluid, and inspiring environment. The flow between spaces encourages spontaneous interaction, while curricula actively promote transversal projects across design, technology, arts, business, and performing arts.
Relaxation areas, cafés, arcade games, foosball tables, and informal workspaces encourage breaks and social interaction. A dedicated mental health space offers students a calm environment to pause, recharge, and reconnect.
The years of study are among the most formative periods of a lifetime. By placing the end user at the center of every decision, we set out to design not only a place for learning, but a true life experience.

The Delta Campus is located on the historic Claude Bernard site, at the corner of Claude Bernard and Arbalète streets in Paris’s 5th arrondissement. For more than a century, this site has stood at the heart of scientific innovation. Its architectural coherence and exceptional documentary heritage bear witness to the evolution and excellence of French higher education since the late 19th century.
But who better than Stéphane Bern to reveal the secrets of this remarkable place…
- A green campus
- A historically modern campus
- A campus with a view to the future
Since this summer, all the teams at the Galileo Global Education headquarters have moved to their new premises in the heart of the Bercy — Saint-Émilion district in Paris.
