History:
On December 22, 2005, the Aquaécopôle project won first prize in an architectural competition because of its originality. The construction of the relay park adjacent to the Vennes station of the M2 line of the Lausanne metro began in October 2008 and was inaugurated on September 17th, 2010. Following opposition from a local resident, the construction of the aquarium and the hotel was delayed. The opposition was unsuccessful in March 2011. The green light was given at the end of March 2011 but the work was delayed following the oppositions which went to the Federal Court. On April 15, 2013, the first stone of a construction planned for a period of more than two years was laid. At the start of 2013, the project was renamed Aquatis. AQUATIS Aquarium-Vivarium Lausanne opened its doors on October 21, 2017.
