The project calls for the construction of an innovative general and technological high school for 1,400 students, including a boarding school, a school restaurant, a multi-purpose hall, sports facilities and staff accommodation, with a total surface area of 1,3,686m².
The architectural project integrates all the buildings into the landscape of the Gironde moors.
Students will be welcomed under a permeable Canopéé, housing an atrium where the school's circulation routes converge. The sloping roofs are also reminiscent of Landes farmhouses.
The challenge was to carry out a public project with an obligation to meet deadlines for opening the high school in September 2023.
In this project, we had to involve external contractors in every phase of the installation, which added to the difficulty and time required.
Today, we have been able to meet and even improve installation times.
BIM, which was a condition of the call for tenders with a charter to be respected, enabled us to achieve a perfect and rapid synthesis between the various trades. The very extensive project, with its multitude of connections between different materials, would have required a design timeframe that we didn't have and which BIM considerably reduced.
We used  Tekla Structure to study and model the framework and all the secondary parts to be supplied. Trimble remains the perfect medium for better communication between the design office and the assembly teams, who can in turn visualize the project in 3D, as well as the environment.
