The house of associations
The student associations atENSA Normandie grouped together in a single location within the school grounds: the association center.
The BDE
The BDE is a student association that intervenes in several areas. First of all, the cooperative which allows students to have access to very competitive prices for their material; then the organization of events which offer students moments of meetings and sharing, within and outside the School (...). Cultural events are organized by the BDE, which offers meetings on subjects related to their studies. The BDE is an actor of the student socialization by organizing, among others, the integration weekend for the first years, the Christmas meal, a Halloween costume party as well as "afterworks" for the students to meet after classes. This association is, finally, an attentive ear and open arms to all people coming towards it.

The Red Factory
La Red Factory is a cultural and artistic association founded and run by students at the École nationale supérieure d’architecture de Normandie (ENSA Normandie).
The association's main project is the organization of Artmeetings. The principle is simple: invite artists to come toENSA Normandie meet with students (and others) and promote exchange with the artistic and cultural community.
Based on this idea, the aim is also to present a variety of art forms and practices. However, in order to break away from the classic codes of an exhibition and to make it lively, the presence, exchange and meeting of artists is a major desire.
Each year the association also organises more intimate events at the beginning and end of the year to meet up after the summer holidays and to integrate the newcomers or to celebrate the end of the season and say goodbye and good luck for the exams.
REC
R.E.C (Radio Étudiante Culturelle) was born out of an initiative by a first-year Master's student in Architecture and a radio presenter and trainer, who both wanted to create a free and independent radio station aimed primarily at students atENSA Normandie.
Its aim is to introduce listeners to the seven main arts, including architecture, music, cinema, literature, and theater.
Via the web platform and podcasts on Mixcloud, REC can be listened to at any time of the day!

The Ciné Club is a meeting place where we discover works together. The main values of the Ciné Club are: open-mindedness, curiosity and a desire to discover a catalog with no limits of choice in its themes, cinematographic genres...
By taking up the idea that was that of the Lumière brothers: "To show the world to the world" through the cinema, where it is then a look, a window on reality, an " Eye", that of the cinema.
