The project, led by Eiffage in consortium with Celnikier & Grabli Architectes, TLR Architecture, MC Paysages, 2B Concept Consulting, Ingerop, SICC, AVLS, Cenergia, and Herv茅 Thermique, will cover a floor area of 16,460m虏 across five storeys.
Eiffage鈥檚 share of the contract is valued at 鈧�29 million ($30.2 million), the company said.
The new facility will integrate laboratories, offices, and storage spaces around a central patio. Positioned at the Haut-L茅v锚que site, it will connect the hospital鈥檚 logistics hub to the north with its cardiology and care buildings to the south.
The project, designed using BIM (Building Information Modelling), prioritises environmental and energy efficiency, Eiffage said.
鈥淐onnected to the hospital centre鈥檚 heat and cold networks, the building will be equipped with an intelligent consumption management system. To limit the project鈥檚 carbon impact, low-carbon concrete will be used for internal floors and ceilings,鈥� Eiffage said. 鈥淭he use of bio-sourced or reused materials will also be prioritised.
鈥淚n addition, planted spaces will reduce the project鈥檚 ecological impact and help prevent heat islands, as well as creating a pleasant living space.鈥�
Design work is currently in progress, with construction scheduled to commence this September.
Eiffage said the project is expected to run 29 months, with completion set for 2028.
