Program
Demolition, reconstruction of 615 student lodgings, 3 staff apartments, communal living building (events hall and CROUS cultural services for students), landscaping, Olympe de Gouges university residence, Ponsan Bellevue campus.
An open urban project, an active campus
The project works at three scales: the campus, the buildings, the lodging. Its ambition is to create an active and welcoming place to live, where each resident can appropriate their own space. Two groups of building free up a park, which addresses the neighbourhood and encompasses the various student residences (1,000 lodgings in all).
In the lee of the hill and extending out from the large central meadow, a communal living building houses rooms for student organisations. These facilities provide a structure for student activity and social life, nurturing conditions for an active, community campus.
