THE COURTYARD The main academic pavilions (science complex, research Institute, and polytechnique) are lifted off the ground on pilotis to provide a clear access to the heart of the project, the central courtyard. As it would become one of the largest green spaces amongst the bordering neighborhoods, this “meadow” is meant to play an indispensable role in unifying these intersecting communities of students, residents and visitors. The courtyard is activated by student life: on the ground level, under the main pavilions and bridges, stand transparent volumes containing public spaces such as caf�s, bars, study lounges, and co-working areas. Encouraged to spill outside by laying out terrasses and hosting activities during both warm and cold seasons, these spaces incite users to enjoy the outdoors year-round.
