ECLA’s three student houses are spacious, light-filled buildings which were originally constructed as the Egyptian and Cuban Embassies to the former German Democratic Republic. The neo-Bauhaus structures are recently renovated, and are situated on a leafy property with landscaped gardens and lawn areas. Each house has laundry facilities, a computer lab, a lounge and a kitchen. A study room with space for twenty students, an art room and a room for student projects are also located in the student houses. Students play badminton, soccer and table tennis in the grassy enclosure between the buildings.

The ECLA dining room is just a block from the houses, while administration and teaching facilities are a five-minute walk away. A music room for choir rehearsal and individual practise is also close-by.
