A reception attended by the FFHB-French Handball Federation, Project Manager (Charles Delamy, Semon Rappaport Agency and BG) and the entire project team was organised for this event. Michel Jacquet, Director General of the Federation, screened a short video showing how the experts are preparing for the 25th World Men’s Handball Championship. He also drew a parallel between the preparation for a major competition and working on a large construction site.

The €25 million project, developed using BIM and started in July 2016 under a general contracting contract, is scheduled for completion in July 2018. It includes offices, meeting and conference rooms, a lecture hall, 65 bedrooms, kitchens, a restaurant, gym, balneotherapy centre and two handball courts.
