École intuit.lab moves into a new space In September, seven years after its foundation by Patrick Felices, école intuit.lab will be moving to a new building located at 90, rue de Javel, in Paris. With three floors above ground, and more unusually, three floors below ground as well, the building will provide plenty more space for the design and visual communication school, which has until now been limited by its somewhat cramped premises in the 11th arrondissement. This new location will subsequently also be used for the organization of events, but the objective of the school's management is not to increase the number of students, which currently stands at 220. In 2006, Intuit.lab also opened a branch in Aix-en-Provence which now has 60 students. To date, 224 students have graduated from the school, "90% of whom are working in the profession". The patron for the class of 2008 will be Olivier Saguez.
École intuit.lab offers an original, dual-education format for the fifth and final year of the course. Lab 5 Masters allows students to be employed under a French employment contract known as a "contrat de professionnalisation" enabling the students to work part-time in an agency on a fixed-term contract (CDD - 80% of French minimum wage) and thus benefit from free on-the-job training. The agency then receives a State subsidy. The training placement runs from November to the start of July, with three weeks a month spent at the company and one week a month spent at the school for workshops which deal with scenarios from the real world of visual communications from a brand point-of-view. For students, it is like a veritable "antechamber to the professional world". For agencies, as the school is keen to emphasize, it is an opportunity "to bring a new junior art director on board gradually and on an on-going basis throughout the course of the year".
