Webster University Geneva was founded in 1978. From 1978 to 1983, the University was housed in the John Knox Center in Grand-Saconnex. In 1983 the University moved to its current location, which at the time included a large house (the current administration building) and 24’000 sq/m of land. Webster University Geneva rented the Bellevue Campus property for three years before obtaining the purchasing permit from the Swiss Government in 1986. After rezoning the land, the campus began the construction of two, three-floor buildings measuring 225 square meters each. The buildings now hold the campus’s main classrooms, library, cafeteria, some academic offices and a recording studio, as well as computer, media and photography labs. The University then added another building for freshman campus housing, which holds additional classrooms and student services offices, as well as a student lounge and fitness room. Since 2009, Webster University also rents a residence (Les Berges du Rhône) for student housing. This residence is located in the center of Geneva along the Rhône river.
