BURGUNDY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS (BSB) Lyon (France) - 2025

Contexte & enjeux

Designed for Carré d’Or, the 8,200 m² project is largely open to the city and blends into the neighborhood’s historic industrial context through its volume and architectural vocabulary.
It has been designed according to the principles of modularity and adaptability in order to create a unique third place consisting of open-plan floors that can be converted into hybrid workspaces adapted to the practices of its future users.
The project is the campus’s new showcase, offering large double-height spaces overlooking the street. It consists of three blocks connected by glass walkways offering views of both the city and the center of the block. Each block is composed of two volumes, one in stained concrete, the other in wood frame and metal cladding.
The shed-shaped roof echoes the existing industrial buildings of the JST factories and allows for the installation of photovoltaic panels.
The site has been replanted and the project preserves the existing trees that line the campus street.
Designed according to the Carrément Hexagonal© approach, the future campus is aiming for E3C1 certification and BREEAM Excellent certification.
