A few weeks after school terms have begun, it’s time for students to go back to university. Perhaps you weren’t aware of it, but Bouygues Construction has built and renovated many universities, providing, in its own way, greater access to knowledge.
Higher education’s demands are rapidly evolving. In this context, the company has thought up a new way to design, build and use educational spaces that are adapted to digital learning, open to the world, and that have minimal environmental impact.
