Housing all the central services and the offices of the Presidency of the University of Reims Champagne Ardenne, previously dispersed, the new URCA headquarters combines functional efficiency, flexibility, and working comfort.

At the head of the Campus 3.0 program initiated by URCA to renew and revitalize its facilities, the building embodies the institution it represents through a strong and dynamic architectural signal, in a city where one in six inhabitants is a student. Finally, the location of the headquarters of this major public institution dedicated to education in a sensitive neighborhood is a strong symbol of the impulse for excellence open to all.
