The SwissTech Convention Center is a conference centre sited on the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland.

Building

Designed by the architectural firm Richter Dahl Rocha & Associés of Lausanne, the building was financed by two Credit Suisse real estate funds. Financial support from the Swiss electricity supply company Romande Energie allowed the west facade of the building to be covered with panels made of organic dye-sensitized solar cell, also called "Grätzel cells" after Michael Grätzel, a physical chemistry professor at EPFL and the inventor of this technology.
