Campus Aivancity

The use of blue as the guiding thread of a story still being written, affirming the campus’s identity. Like a digital signature spreading outward. Like a light, a pulse glowing across the city.

Blue, as a path — a journey of life and learning to be taken in order to grow. Blue, as a movement felt in every space of the building. Blue, as the expressive surface of a living, vibrant place. An endless dialogue between the space, the school and its values, and those who inhabit it. Blue as the meeting point between AI and society: a new territory, a landscape to explore and co-write, to learn differently.

It’s a strong signal that something is happening here. A pathway that speaks, invites, connects, and lives. A personal journey — a progression through experience, knowledge, and space. This building speaks. It speaks to us.

Through bioclimatic optimization and improved efficiency of technical systems, the renovation of this 2005 building (built prior to the RT 2012 regulation) leads to a significant improvement in its energy performance. Various technical systems were studied to reduce energy consumption:

• Implementation of an efficient multi-energy distribution system for heating and cooling production
• Installation of new air handling units for ventilation, offering over 80% efficiency. Airflow is managed based on actual occupancy rates.
• Selection of high-efficiency lighting equipment to promote natural brightness
• Deployment of a Centralized Technical Management system (BMS) with real-time monitoring

For this renovation project, Autumn | Patriarche proposed a proactive approach to the project owner, focusing on the reuse of construction materials prior to demolition. To achieve this, the team partnered with Mobius, a key player in waste reduction and the intelligent use of material and energy resources, offering a new perspective on construction aimed at improving both the energy and societal performance of the project.

Two “collaborative dismantling days” were organized and supervised by Mobius teams. On site, 9 associations collected the equivalent of €21,000 worth of new materials. This represents savings in the production of equivalent new items, amounting to 2.7 tons of waste avoided and 12 tons of CO₂ equivalent — the energy consumed by a city car driving around the world 20 times.
