The Sainte Marthe building in the campus Hannah Arendt was originally a hospital founded in 1354. It was not until 1997 that the University started its first academic year on the new site of the old hospital, after three years of work.
Right in front of this building, a modern building was constructed as the architectural response to the former St. Marthe hospital.
