In 2017, a new look for the Triolet campus
Announced as part of the national campus operation plan, the "Science Village" and "Heart of Campus" projects will transform the face of the University of Montpellier.
Science Village: the Triolet campus gets a makeover!
Two ultra-modern buildings, 13,000 m² dedicated to teaching, and a completely redesigned entrance: this is what the Triolet campus will look like in a few years' time. The first and main achievement of this project is a five-story complex housing seminar rooms and computer labs, lecture halls, a large terrace, and numerous student living spaces. Open and airy, the building aims to embody the campus's new identity and reinforce the university's openness to the city. A few steps away from the main building, another project will be dedicated to the teaching of biology and ecology, two fields of study that are emblematic of UM.
Heart of campus: in 2017, a large urban university park
Bringing together four university sites within a 40-hectare area is the ambition of this unprecedented urban and landscape development project. In 2017, the Triolet site will be integrated into a shared space for the University of Montpellier and Paul Valéry Montpellier 3 University. The campus will also include the La Motte Rouge university sports center and part of the new Chimie Balard hub. This new urban park will prioritize pedestrian mobility and sustainable modes of transport. Campus life will also be at the heart of the project, with new street furniture, sports facilities, and landscaping. The aim of the Cœur de Campus project is to improve the living environment and promote mobility for 35,000 users.
A major consultation process involving all these stakeholders was launched in October. This first phase will enable us to gather information on needs and refine the project. UM students, give your opinion so that we can imagine the new face of your campus together!
