The Mendrisio campus

The location of the Academy, situated close to yet outside metropolitan areas, supports a student-focused lifestyle while still allowing easy access to nearby cities. The various buildings that make up the Mendrisio campus are arranged around the park: Villa Argentina (home to the management, administration, student office, and research institutes), Palazzo Canavée, and Palazzo Turconi (teaching facilities), along with the Library and the Teatro dell’Architettura Mendrisio (TAM), which hosts exhibitions, lectures, and cultural events.
