Tour Zamansky by Édouard Albert, 1970
Campus Pierre-et-Marie-Curie
Quartier Saint-Victor, 5th arrondissement
Paris, July 2002
“The Zamansky Tower, also known as the Jussieu Tower, is a building in the 5th arrondissement of Paris. Located in the middle of the Pierre and Marie Curie campus (Jussieu), it houses the administrative offices of Sorbonne University. It is named after Marc Zamansky, Dean of the Faculty of Sciences of Paris from 1963 to 1970. It is commonly called the ‘Jussieu Tower’ by Parisians, and the ‘Central Tower’ or simply ‘the Tower’ by campus users. The term ‘the Tower’ is also often used metonymically to refer to the administrative offices themselves. Standing 90 meters tall, it is the 115th tallest building in Île-de-France. It comprises 28 levels: a ground floor, two mezzanines, 24 ordinary floors, and a technical floor. On the roof of the building are four masts supporting various antennas, bringing the total height to 93 meters.” (Tour Zamansky, Wikipedia)
