Part of the Plan Colleges launched in the French department in 2017, the new college will accommodate no fewer than 700 students and has been designed to have a minimal carbon footprint.
The project calls for the creation of a college with a ground-floor teaching area, R+1 R+2, and a residential area with R+2 / R+3 wooden attics. The area is divided into 9 earthquake-resistant blocks.
The entire project is based on interoperability between all the parties involved (BIM approach), with a specific and unique graphic charter for each party.
Most of the building is of concrete construction, with insulated precast facades. The living quarters are timber-framed, the sports gymnasium is timber-framed, and the courtyard is steel-framed.
A special feature of this school is the sports field on the roof.
Carbon footprint:
- Connected to the district heating network
- Energy production using photovoltaic panels
- Installation of equipment limiting water consumption, wastewater discharge and treatment, and installation of rainwater recovery tanks.
- The wood frame, walls, and insulation reduced greenhouse gas emissions from the buildings.
- Appropriate solar protection
- Double-flow ventilation
Challenges to meet
- Layout of precast walls
- Precast in gymnasium area
- Interface between concrete elements and carpenter
