The new football stadium is located in the Northern part of the city of Lausanne, at the point where the city’s dense urban fabric gives way to the more open countryside. The sports infrastructure at the new “Centre Sportif de la Tuilière” comprises nine football pitches, arranged in two rows, in addition to an athletics facility with a training centre.

To maintain the historical view of the monastery, the sports hall and swimming pool were built underground, around a deep courtyard with longitudinal sides that provided the adjoining gymnasiums with daylight.
