Heading towards the future campus: a look back at the ground-breaking ceremony

Today saw the laying of the foundation stone for the future MBS campus, which kicks off 30 months of construction work and will open at the start of the 2026 academic year.

This future 20,000 m² eco-campus will be home to all MBS programmes and students, as well as Purple Campus Montpellier, the CCI Hérault and the CCI Occitanie.

Since four institutions will be living together, the place will have a name: Anima, a word meaning ‘soul’, ‘breath’ or ‘to inspire’.

“After more than 10 years working towards the realisation of this major project for the region: FINALLY, we’re ready to go!
125 years after its creation, MBS is opening a new chapter. – André Deljarry, President of MBS.

The future Anima campus is eco-designed and has been awarded the “Bâtiment Durable Occitanie” silver certification.
“This is an important economic development project. It matches the vision I have for our region. It’s also an exemplary project in terms of the transition to a low-carbon economy. A future strength for our region!” – Carole Delga, President of the Occitanie Region.

Further announcements for MBS will be made on Wednesday at a press conference in Paris. So see you soon!
