The Nil Building
Cnam-Enjmin boarded the Nil in 2014
The rebirth of the Nil
The building was originally a paper mill located on the banks of the Charente River.
It was named after the River Nile (in French of course!).
Renovation of the Nil Building started in 2012 thanks to financial support from Pôle Image Magelis.
After 2 years of renovation, Cnam-Enjmin boarded the Nil in 2014 in a fully renovated 4,200m² space.

Environmental Protection
We care about our environmental impact. That's why the Nil Building has a green living roof for better insulation and rainwater management. Moreover, the building's centralised management optimises the use of the heating systems.

Mœbius poster
Jean Giraud, alias Mœbius or Gir, was a legendary comic book artist and author. Alongside the scriptwriter Jean-Michel Charlier, he created the famous western comic strip ‘Blueberry’.
For the opening of Cnam-Enjmin, Mœbius created a poster which reads Rejoignez la Communauté (Join the Community).
