Workplaces
Our headquarters has been in Lausanne since 1915, and is spread across two locations:
- Olympic House in Vidy is our award-winning headquarters, designed with sustainability and collaboration in mind. It serves as the heart of collaboration and innovation for the IOC’s activities, providing a vibrant meeting place for IOC staff members, IOC Members and the wider Olympic Movement.
- The Olympic Museum and Olympic Studies Centre, in Ouchy, is our cultural hub that celebrates the Olympic spirit and hosts part of our team. It is the official home of the world’s largest and most complete collection of Olympic heritage, including artefacts, archives, images, books and film.
The IOC Group also includes two other entities in Madrid:
