A new EDHEA by 2027

Une nouvelle EDHEA à l’horizon 2027

Based in Sierre since 1997, the EDHEA aspires to develop its activities in a single location, in larger premises designed specifically to meet the needs of a leading art and design school. In December 2018, the State Council of Valais announced plans for the construction of a new building and, in May 2023, the Grand Council of Valais voted to grant a CHF 46.7 million guarantee to the HES-SO Valais-Wallis for the construction of the campus.

The building, which is currently under construction, will be located in Sierre on the site of the Halles Usego. It is intended to be not only a learning facility, but also a space for contemporary culture open to the public, with the largest library in Valais specializing in art and design, a listening center unique in Europe, a 400 m2 exhibition hall and a screening room showcasing auteur films. In addition, it will satisfy high standards in terms of sustainable development and be exemplary from an energy perspective.
