This long-awaited project is launched. Construction works are underway on the banks of the Garonne for a large theatre that will host more than 100 events a year as well as international stars. Bouygues Bâtiment Centre Sud-Ouest is carrying out Bordeaux Métropole Arena construction, a complex designed by the Rudy Ricciotti agency.
Located on the right bank of the Garonne, at the foot of the Floirac hills, Bordeaux Métropole Arena is based on the amphitheatre model. Its architectural design and features put it on par with the greatest arenas in the world. It aims to draw attention through its eye-catching round shape and white cover, which glistens like a stone washed up by the river. The Bouygues Bâtiment Centre Sud-Ouest teams face the challenge of building a double concrete curve whilst maintaining the same shade of white on the entire complex.
A modular and multi-use arena
The main strength of the project is its modularity: through a motorized system of retractable stands enabling extremely quick configuration changes, the capacity will range from 2,500 to 11,000 seats to accommodate all kinds of events and play host to an eclectic programme featuring concerts, shows, indoor sporting events, etc. This is a true mark of success for Lagardère Live Entertainment, the concession holder for a period of twenty years.
The complex will be equipped with large technical and backstage areas to provide the best hosting and working conditions for the production teams. With its 2,200 m² hall opening onto the forecourt, it will also offer a broad range of services for all members of the public, including cafés, exhibitions, a VIP area and a press conference room. APIA and Gamba Acoustique carried out several acoustic studies in the arena, which was designed with the city firmly in mind, to guarantee optimal comfort to the audience by concentrating the music in the hall not to disturb nearby residents.
The project aims to be awarded HQE® Certification in the construction and operation phase by minimising energy consumption. In line with the partners’ goal of using this project to stimulate the local economy, 5% of the hours worked will be set aside for people entering into the labour market and 35% of the work packages will be assigned to local and regional companies.
We look forward to seeing you in 2018 for the grand opening!
