The hub is a walking distance from the prestigious Ecole Polytechnique and other leading sciences and engineering schools, with more than 15% of all research jobs in France located in Paris-Saclay.  

The consortium was selected by the government’s planning authority from among 12 candidates, with the project’s exceptional environmental performance being the winning feature. The building, developed by REI Habitat, is a wood construction achieving best-in-class carbon-neutrality standards.
