Welcoming global excellence

A key step in our heritage strategy

This project lays the foundation for an exceptional campus that will serve future generations of students.

To consolidate its position among the world's most attractive academic institutions, Sciences Po has embarked on a major transformation. In the heart of Paris, in the iconic Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighborhood, our campus must remain the crossroads of exchange and ideas that we know today.

The renovation of the Hôtel de la Meilleraye embodies our ambition to strengthen the institution's independence, protect it from uncertainty, and ensure its long-term future. 
We want to offer a growing number of students from around the world the best possible conditions for success and fulfillment.

Our heritage plan aims to expand the campus, modernize our buildings, and meet the needs of future generations of students. On both sides of Boulevard Saint-Germain, we are continuing its transformation into a modern, inclusive, and attractive place in the heart of Paris.

“Dear friends,

For half a century, 56 rue des Saints-Pères has been at the heart of Sciences Po’s intimate geography, a space where our students come to learn and prepare for the highest public and private responsibilities. Today, we want to ensure that this heritage continues to uphold Sciences Po’s excellence and international appeal.

We are counting on your support to write this new chapter.”
