The Paris-Saclay hospital complex enriches the Essonne region, west of Paris, with the aim of developing a center of research excellence while simultaneously strengthening the local healthcare network.
The 49,000 m² complex has 480 beds and 9 operating rooms. It offers various services: surgery, general medicine, intensive care, and a maternity ward. This new hospital is part of a High Environmental Quality (HQE - Haute Qualité Environnementale) certification plan, emphasizing sustainability and environmental care.
Lighting is fully integrated into this approach. All external lighting was carried out by PERFORMANCE iN LIGHTING. THEOS GLASS MINI street lights were used to secure the parking lots and access roads to the site. The walkways and green spaces were illuminated using MIMIK 10 POST bollards and TYK+ 10 architectural floodlights, enhancing and defining spaces and volumes.
The temperature management of the indoor areas is possible, among other things, by recovering the energy produced by the site's operation and connecting to the low-carbon urban heating network, which offers 60% renewable energy. Additionally, to better integrate into the environment and improve the living comfort of the occupants, the surroundings of the hospital are surrounded by a green belt. Thus, the site combines better energy and consumption management without neglecting the living comfort of patients, families, and hospital staff.
