Throughout CERN’s almost 70-year history, architecture has been placed at the service of science through iconic structures built on the Laboratory’s sites.

Science Gateway project leader Patrick Geeraert describes the origins, status and goals of CERN’s new visitor and education centre, due to open in October.
