Campus | Bocconi University

Through its architecture and urban planning, the Bocconi campus expresses the University’s cultural vision. It features both innovation and avant-garde thinking, as well as an international focus that Bocconi shares with the city.

The University’s relationship with the city follows a unique model. The campus is fully integrated into the urban fabric and is just a 10-minute walk from bustling downtown Milan.

Each campus building is the work of important architects and is intended as an integral part of the city, prompting not only urban change, but also socio-economic evolution in the surrounding area.

Francesco Billari, Rector

I like to think of our campus as the "Fabbrica del Duomo", a typically Milanese idea: like Milan’s Duomo, it will never really be "completed", because such a marvel constantly needs small or big renovations allowing it to maintain its identity forever. This is exactly why, despite having recently completed construction on a gorgeous part of campus south of Via Sarfatti – composed of SDA Bocconi buildings, a residence hall, the Bocconi Sport Center and a public park – our campus is not yet done, and never will be.
