Launch of the rehabilitation of the park's workshops

The École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Normandie has benefited from an exceptional financial package from the Government's stimulus plan for its energy renovation. After 10 months of studies, the rehabilitation of the workshops in the park has been launched. Built in 1998 by the architect Patrice Mottini, this building was nominated for the prestigious "Equerre d'Argent" award. Its "Remarkable Contemporary Architecture" label is currently being processed. Condemned in 2013 for non-compliance, the building will be returned to its original use, teaching and research in architecture. The glazed floors will provide optimum working conditions for the researchers of the ATE laboratory (29 researchers, 14 doctoral students, 2 staff). The large studio will be reconfigured as a digital room for distance learning, colloquia and meetings in hybrid format. Finally, the basement will be enlarged and lit to provide a platform for work on eco-construction, pending the construction of an experimental hall.
