Study on a truly historic campus

A Campus with a Rich History

The campus is centered around a former palace of Empress Maria Theresa, originally built by Nicolò Pacassi. Later owned by the Rothschild family, it served as a hospital before being transformed into Lauder Business School by the Berlin architecture firm Kuhn Malvezzi. The modern auditorium was added in 2003 with the support of Bank Austria Creditanstalt.

The Spirit of Innovation

The LBS campus is an inspiring place for our students to develop their entrepreneurial talents and nurture the knowledge required for the business of tomorrow. The campus spirit not only enriches the lives of our students but also of our staff and faculty members.
