ESTP ESEO Metropolitan Campus

The building accommodates two distinctive schools of engineering as well as shared spaces. The project’s digital and innovation showcase at city scale focuses on the creation of spaces promoting new teaching practices. The large amphitheatre at the heart of the project, accessible from both engineering schools, has been raised to overlook the Berthaut esplanade. To join the two schools, a vast central atrium, intended for cross-cutting curricula and shared by both ESEO and ESTP, the two participant engineering schools, was carved out in the built mass.
The building’s polymorphous exterior plays on different levels of transparency, providing a glimpse of the indoor activities and bustle, while offering generous views to the outdoors landscape. The building’s functional facilities are designed according to a rational and functional layout for standard programs and general-purpose premises. The column-beam structure confers modularity and enables reversible uses over time.
