In the Plateau de Saclay, the SerendiCity site is firing on all cylinders. Why? The residence must be ready to house more than 1,000 Saclay students at the start of academic year 2017! This operation was developed in record time, and the first symbolic stone was laid on 25 May. Explore behind the scenes.
The operation, developped by Linkcity Ile-de-France, is the largest student housing project currently underway in France and will provide 25,000 m² at the beginning of the 2017 academic year for new students at the Paris-Saclay University, mainly from higher education establishments currently located or which will be located there, such as CentraleSupélec, L’Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan, and L’Université Paris-Sud.
The project, designed by LAN and Clément Vergély Architectes, in partnership with the Topotek landscaping company, is composed of eight buildings, including three outer buildings containing most of the accommodation surrounding five cylinder shaped buildings in a central cluster that wwill provide more comfort for the future users. The urban perspective of the project will be complemented by a large landscaped park open to the public.
A large area will be reserved for shared spaces: large multi-purpose hall (called the Agora), work room and projection room… and shared housing units, as set out in the ‘Habiter le campus’ (campus life) programme and charter created for the Paris-Saclay campus.
Thanks to an innovative photo-engraving technique, the concrete façades of the cylinder-shaped buildings feature something special: a depiction of the various Muses from the famous Sarcophagus of the Muses, which dates from the 2th century A.D. and is held in the Louvre.
Based on a 3D modelling of the sarcophagus, a mould was created specifically so that concrete could be poured and then the resulting prefabricated elements assembled on site. It’s the differences in the depth of the concrete that gives the representation of the Muses. One’s perception of the gravure changes according to the sun’s position and that of the viewer.

Innovative in many aspects, SerendiCity is an example of Paris-Saclay Development Authority’s desire to create an emblematic campus open to the region and all parts of society.
This 5,400 metre-long sea viaduct, which will connect Saint-Denis (the capital of Reunion Island) to La Grande Chaloupe, is a major component of the New Coastal Road. The aim is to replace the current road along the coast between Saint-Denis and La Possession, which is dangerously exposed to the risk of rock falls and submersion […]

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.
Bouygues Construction is inaugurating its demo for Wizom Connected, the group's smart and connected accommodation offer. The demo, which is open to both employees and clients, features full-sized examples of the equipment included in the comprehensive digital offer.
For almost two years, Bouygues Construction has been leveraging Open Innovation in order to increase its competitiveness. Roland Le Roux, head of the Open Innovation team in the Innovation and Sustainable Development Department, discusses the challenges involved in this initiative that allows Bouygues Construction to be one step ahead of the competition.
Situated in Paris’ 18th arrondissement, the Lourcine Barracks, former Parisian military site built in 1875, will soon be transformed into a university facility. There will be a boarding house for prep-school pupils studying to gain admittance to the elite Grandes Ecoles, and a university centre. L’EPAURIF (public development agency for universities in the Ile-de-France region) […]
Seen as the new "black gold" of our society, data, and particularly the use of data, is central to the strategy of organisations, services and, more recently, local government.
How can lean management change the world of construction? Karine Famy, Director of Production Habitat Nord at Bouygues Bâtiment Nord-Est, explains.
Construction robotics holds no secrets for Thomas Bock, professor at Munich University of Technology, author of more than 500 articles in academic journals, creator of the first European Commission on Construction Robotics, co-founder and director of the IAARC, holder of the DFG Seibold Award, and adviser to governments and academies around the world. He's telling us about it!
