A sustainable middle school with 800 students

Located in Pian-Médoc, in the Gironde department, this middle school accommodates up to 800 students in a modern and functional learning environment. Built as part of a comprehensive public performance contract for the Departmental Council, the facility includes all the amenities necessary for school life: classrooms, dining areas, indoor and outdoor sports facilities, staff housing, and landscaping.

Organized around a central courtyard, the campus consists of six buildings connected by covered walkways that facilitate smooth circulation and clear spatial organization.
Covering an area of over 9,000 m², the project was designed to provide an environment conducive to educational success while ensuring comfort, safety, and scalability.

The sports facilities, including a gymnasium and outdoor courts, contribute to the school’s integration into the local community and to the students’ quality of life.

Completed in just 26 months, the project demonstrates the ability to deliver complex public infrastructure within controlled timelines while meeting high standards of performance and user experience.

A school with high environmental performance

The Pian-Médoc middle school stands out for its sustainable design, which incorporates numerous innovative energy and construction solutions.
The buildings feature a wooden structure and facades, combined with a biomass boiler and photovoltaic systems that significantly reduce the site’s carbon footprint.

Dual-flow ventilation systems ensure optimal air quality in the classrooms, while acoustic treatments using wood improve sound comfort, particularly in the gymnasium and communal areas. Certified E3C2 under the E+C- initiative and designed using BIM tools, the school achieves a high level of energy and environmental performance.

This comprehensive approach helps limit energy consumption, optimize operations, and provide both students and teaching staff with a healthy and sustainable environment. The middle school thus embodies a new generation of educational facilities that combine environmental excellence, innovative construction, and architectural quality.

Un bâtiment moderne de plusieurs étages avec une façade en bois chaleureuse et de grandes fenêtres est entouré d'une cour pavée et d'arbres, dont de grands pins et des arbres à feuilles caduques aux couleurs automnales. Des allées couvertes en bois et des escaliers en béton complètent cet environnement architectural intégré à la nature.
