Emery was officially named new Gunners chief on Wednesday, replacing Arsene Wenger after 22 years at the club.
The Spanish boss looked thrilled to be in St Albans as he clutched a cup of coffee during his whistle-stop tour of the training ground.
During his busy morning, Emery even bumped into the bespectacled Laurent Koscielny - who appeared to be receiving treatment in the physio room as he recovers from an ankle injury.
As well as the treatment room, Emery caught a glimpse of the gym, changing rooms, tactics board, indoor pitch and offices.

The new head coach claimed: "[The board] know my ambition, my passion. I want this project at Arsenal. It is a big responsibility.
"I believe the players who are here... we can grow as a squad. The objective is to be together and work hard. With this talent, we can challenge for all the titles.
"It is very important for the club, after two years outside of the Champions League to work for it. We need to be alongside the best teams in England and the world.
