The campus was housed in the modernized Victorian style building of Les Frenes, built in the late 1800s, which became a sanatorium of the Dr. Rollier health complex in the early 1900s.^{[citation needed]} A private train station connected Leysin to all main lines and cities in Switzerland.^{[citation needed]}
