745 Viscosistadt

Relocation to 745 Viscosistadt, the new campus building in Emmenbrücke, brings all our degree programmes under one roof. Since 2016, the very heart of what was once Central Switzerland’s most important industrial site has been home to around two thirds of the students and staff of the School of Art and Design at the University of Lucerne. Now, in 2019, the entire remainder of the School will join them in Emmen.

Designers, filmmakers and artists are specialised in futures. They test innovations, forge new links, and know that this world could easily turn into another. The flip side of this passion for all things possible, however, is the constant need to pin things down, to a position, a stance or a tradition. For only through a sense of place can design, film and art source their power and connect the regional and the international, the local and the global. And (re-) location is a concept that we now must read quite literally. The students and staff of the School of Art and Design at the University of Lucerne need a place for their work – and the Viscosistadt campus with its productive ambience in lofty former factories is ideal for them: a space of inspiration for creative aspirations.
