Description
Due to limited space at the main campus, ETH Zurich expanded to Hönggerberg in the 1960s, near agricultural land and forests. Today, it is Switzerland’s largest university campus featuring state-of-the-art facilities. The campus blends high-tech research with natural surroundings and hosts over 10,000 students and staff. The design, inspired by American models, integrates study, social spaces, residences, sports facilities, shops, and restaurants, creating a comprehensive university environment.
