Latin Quarter campus Panthéon Centre The Panthéon Centre, which should not be confused with the
Panthéon itself, was the building of the
Faculty of Law of the former
University of Paris and is located opposite the Panthéon. It was designed by Jacques-Germain Soufflot in 1760 as part of a new architectural ensemble for the
Montagne Sainte-Geneviève. The Faculty of Law building was completed in 1744. At the end of the 19th century, when the Sorbonne was undergoing major reforms, an extension was planned for the
Panthéon Centre, designed by Louis-Ernest Lheureux. The extension took place in two phases, 1876–1878 and 1891–1899, and gave rise to the construction of a large new building connected to the 18th century facade. Together, they now occupied the entire city block. The construction of the Cujas wing, an 8-storey building on rue Cujas designed by the architect Jacques Becmeur, comprising a car park, an amphitheater, and 4 floors of offices, is connected to the historic buildings by a monumental staircase which was later decorated by the students of the Sorbonne Fine Arts Department (''UFR d'Arts Plastiques''). The main courtyard and the facades of the original building were listed as Historic Monuments in 1926. The Panthéon Centre is home to the prestigious
Sorbonne Law School and is shared with the
Assas Law School of
Paris-Panthéon-Assas University. The Panthéon Centre houses the head office of the university.
Sorbonne Centre The Sorbonne Centre houses multiple departments of Panthéon-Sorbonne University, including the Department of Management (École de Management de la Sorbonne), History (École d’histoire de la Sorbonne), Philosophy (UFR de Philosophie), Political Science (UFR de Science Politique) and part of the Economics and Law departments. It is one of the main campuses of the university. It is shared with
Sorbonne University.
Institute of Geography The Institute of Geography was built between 1914 and 1926 by Henri-Paul Nénot. The institute was designed to bring together in a single building the collections, teaching, and research in geography, hitherto divided between the faculties of arts and sciences. The building is connected to the neighboring Oceanographic Institute by a double arch to form the Curie campus. The occupation of the Institute of Geography results from a decree of 1 December 1980, concerning joint ownership between the three universities Paris 1, Paris 4 (today
Sorbonne University), Paris 7 (today
Paris Cité University), and the
Sorbonne Library. Today, the building houses students of the Geography department from the 3rd year of their bachelor's degree.
Other campuses in Paris Michelet Centre (Institute of Art and Archeology) The Institute of Art and Archeology was built on the site of the former Institute of Applied Chemistry of the Faculty of Sciences by the architect Paul Bigot (1870–1942). The building offers, in particular, for the gaze of walkers, at the base of the large arcades, a frieze formed of terracotta bas-reliefs reproducing famous works of world art (Parthenon, Ara Pacis Augustae, etc.). The syncretism desired by Paul Bigot gives the Institute of Art and Archeology an educational virtue that resonates with the function of the building. Inside, the entrance vestibule, the amphitheater and the large reading room of the library, which occupies the heart of the building, have retained their volumes, but, on the floors, the galleries which housed the collections The heritage structures constituted in the Sorbonne and Paul Bigot's plan of Rome were abolished in the 1970s in favor of a partitioning of spaces into classrooms and teachers' offices, following the massification of higher education. Initially designed for 200 students and 3 professors, the building now houses, equally, the Sorbonne School of Art History and Archeology of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and the Art History and Archeology Department of
Sorbonne University (formerly Paris 4), several thousand students, and nearly 150 tenured teacher-researchers. Property of the French Government, the Institute of Art and Archeology is assigned, by ministerial decree of 30 June 1983, in endowment to the two universities Paris 1 and Paris IV and registered in this form in the registers of the State. It has been classified as a Historic Monument since 9 September 1996.
Port-Royal Campus The new Port-Royal Campus is spread over two neighboring sites: the René-Cassin building located at 17 rue Saint-Hippolyte and, on the other side of the street, the former Lourcine barracks, which covers the entire block between boulevard de Port-Royal and rue de la Glacière, Broca and Saint-Hippolyte. The René-Cassin site is made up of two buildings: a 19th-century building acquired by the Ministry of National Education in 1957 and restructured in 1987, but above all, a new building built between 1987 and 1990 by the architects Jacques Ripault and Denise Duhart. The former Lourcine barracks, located at 37 Boulevard Port-Royal, is one of the oldest military sites in Paris. Matured since 2011, the project to create a new law campus was entrusted in 2014 to the Public Establishment for University Development of the Ile de France region (EPAURIF) with a contracting authority mandate. The architectural challenge of the project was to preserve this heritage, testimony of the urban history of this district, by touching it as little as possible, while developing it in an optimal way. In addition to the three buildings on the Lourcine block, the current René-Cassin center has been attached to the new site to give birth to the Port-Royal Campus from the start of the 2019 academic year. This new center of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne allows, among others, the grouping of sites dedicated to legal disciplines. It welcomes students, teachers, researchers, and staff in exceptional working conditions. More than 2,400 people now occupy this new campus.
Pierre Mendès-France Centre (Tolbiac) In November 1970, Olivier Guichard, then Minister of National Education, decided to build a new university education center at the corner of rue de Tolbiac and rue de Baudricourt in the 13th arrondissement. In January 1971, the architects Michel Andraut and Pierre Parat were entrusted with the construction of the new building. The model of the project was presented by the architects on November 16, 1971. After two years of construction, the new university center opened its doors in the fall of 1973 under the name of "Multidisciplinary Center of Tolbiac". Renamed in 1983 in honor of the French politician Pierre Mendès France, the Center Pierre-Mendès-France was built in the context of post-68 university programs and the urban renewal of the Italy XIII sector undertaken since 1964. The site – a cramped triangular plot of 7,500 m2 hitherto occupied by a deposit of cobblestones – led to the original and ambitious choice of vertical development, which is quite unusual in terms of university architecture. The architects imagined a high-rise building (IGH) composed of three towers of unequal heights built around a central reinforced concrete core: tower A is nine stories high, tower B sixteen, and tower C of twenty-two. Andrault and Parat worked on the building in a quest for functionality and formal expressiveness, which involves deconstructing the volumes, vigorously linking the lift towers, ensuring vertical circulation in the building, "urban modules" which are these “suspended” cubic volumes sheltering the offices and the classrooms, and the amphitheatres which unfold in a corolla at the base of the building. This sculptural work is extended by a brutalist aesthetic based on the association of rough concrete, smoked glass, bricks, pebbles, or even by the moving "landscape" imagined within the framework of the 1% artistic by Bernard Alleaume and Yvette Vincent-Alleaume at the base of the building to enliven the spaces overlooking rue de Tolbiac. The Pierre-Mendès-France Campus currently welcomes around 6,000 first and second-year undergraduate students in human sciences, economics, and management. • Tolbiac Center: a secondary building of the Mendès-France Center (which confusingly is also called Tolbiac).
