Université Félix Houphouët-Boigny

Université Félix Houphouët-Boigny in Abidjan is one of Côte d’Ivoire’s major academic institutions. Set in Cocody on a large landscaped campus, it combines lecture halls, tree-lined avenues, gardens, and open public spaces that give scale to the university city. The site carries the name of Félix Houphouët-Boigny, the country’s first president, and remains closely tied to the cultural and intellectual life of the capital. Seen through its broad circulation spaces and expansive grounds, the campus reads as both an educational infrastructure and a place shaped by national history, everyday use, and the changing rhythms of Abidjan.
