Multipurpose university building in Toulouse

The Duportal operation is part of the overall development plan for the real estate resources of the University Toulouse 1 Capitole, which includes an additional 12,000 square meters of floor space in two phases. This will provide the University with additional amphitheaters, teaching rooms, sports facilities, and university medical services. The Duportal operation is located on plot AE 826 197, which currently houses the private car park for the administrative city of Toulouse, located in an enclave to the northwest of the Arsenal campus. The University’s acquisition of this land marks the genesis of the operation.

The client, University Toulouse 1 Capitole, intends to provide its Arsenal campus with a new university building for the first phase of the operation, which will house sports, teaching, and medical facilities. This university building will mark the first phase of a larger development project aimed at completely requalifying the

North and West entrances of the campus, thus creating a new entrance.

The development of the Arsenal site following the acquisition of the large parking lot of the administrative city is a unique opportunity for University Toulouse 1 Capitole. In the short term, it provides the opportunity to build a facility that meets all urgent needs for teaching, sports, and medicine. However, the challenge of this project is to integrate this first step into a longer-term development process. Connecting with the city means creating links between residents, students, and teaching staff. This connection is built through the ability to welcome people. Today, this welcome revolves around specific knowledge, open lectures, and access to books in the library. This program provides an opportunity to bring together campus-specific situations and non-specific events such as sports and preventive medicine.
