The project involves constructing a new building adjacent to the existing one to reorganize several key functions of the University Hospital, including patient logistics, the in-house pharmacy, and the central food production unit, as well as creating a centralized waste collection point. This will improve internal workflows, increase storage capacity, and enhance the overall performance of logistics services.
Conceived as a genuine tool to support the hospital's daily operations, the project incorporates increased automation of internal transport through a heavy automated transport system, in order to streamline traffic flow and secure supplies. The project also includes an extension for office use.

Carried out on an occupied hospital site, the construction will take place in the immediate vicinity of the active buildings and the CHRU helipad, involving strong constraints in terms of safety and coordination, including interruptions imposed during the approach and takeoff phases of the helicopters.

The project is based on a simple and functional design, with a concrete base and a steel frame elevation, adapted to the site constraints and intended uses. The construction site will employ up to thirty workers and will incorporate a professional integration program, with over 7,000 hours of work planned.

Work is scheduled to begin in the fall of 2026, with completion expected in 2028.
