When the school year ends and summer begins, the work at Collège Champittet continues behind the scenes. Each year, the institution undertakes a series of renovation and development projects designed to keep its campus modern, welcoming, and fit for the future. This summer was no exception, with a range of upgrades that families and students will notice immediately upon their return.
The most visible change is the completely redesigned reception area. Modern, bright, and inviting, the new reception creates an excellent first impression for visitors and reflects the school’s commitment to a warm and professional environment. The conference room has also received a contemporary makeover, now equipped with the latest technology to support meetings, presentations, and collaboration among staff and the wider school community.
Beyond these front-of-house improvements, the main hallway has been refreshed to create a brighter, more welcoming space for daily movement between classes. One of the most exciting projects this summer, however, has been the transformation of the science facilities. A new science laboratory, filled with natural light and modern equipment, now provides students with an enhanced environment for experimentation, discovery, and hands-on learning. These upgrades collectively ensure that Collège Champittet remains at the forefront of educational excellence, blending tradition with innovation.
The latest improvements at Collège Champittet build upon a series of enhancements completed in recent years, demonstrating a sustained commitment to continuous development. Chief among these is The Village, the school’s Early Years Centre, which was inaugurated in 2025 and represents a significant investment in the youngest learners. Other key projects completed last summer include the modernisation of ten secondary classrooms, the renovation of boarding house bedrooms, the addition of fifty covered bicycle parking spaces, a new dishwashing tunnel, upgraded water pipes, and new photocopiers.
These projects, while diverse in scope, share a common goal: to create a campus that is both future-ready and deeply supportive of student life. The modernised classrooms and boarding facilities enhance comfort and functionality, while the bicycle parking and infrastructure upgrades promote sustainability and efficiency. The new dishwashing tunnel and water pipes reflect a focus on operational excellence, ensuring that day-to-day services run smoothly.
Collège Champittet is proudly rooted in tradition while embracing innovation. The dedication to continually improving the campus reflects a broader commitment to providing students with the best possible environment in which to learn and thrive. As the community returns for the new academic year, these new and refreshed spaces are ready to come to life, supporting every aspect of the educational journey.
