Lausanne campus

In 1946, the citizens of Lausanne voted against a massive airport project ("aéroport vaudois Lausanne-Écublens") on the site. In 1963, the Canton of Vaud bought the property at Dorigny. At the time, the University of Lausanne had more than forty locations in Lausanne. in October 1970. As of 2013, the campus comprised about sixty buildings. The campus is mainly located in the municipality of Écublens, but parts of it are in Chavannes-près-Renens and Saint-Sulpice. The campus has its own postal code: 1015 Lausanne. The campus also features the Napoleon Oak, a magnificent tree which has stood at its current location since 1800. The tree has been subject to extensive whole genome sequencing.
