Campus Sartorius in France

Divided into three main sections, the French headquarters of the group aims to redevelop and reorganize the existing site through the construction of new buildings that complement the current infrastructure.

Building P16 is an extension of the existing production facility, incorporating an automated pallet storage warehouse (stacker crane system). Built on stilts to ensure hydraulic transparency in case of flooding, it features 10 delivery docks equipped with automatic dock levelers.
On the campus side, the office spaces are distributed across three levels: a quality laboratory on the ground floor, an open-plan office area on the first floor, and meeting rooms along with a cafeteria on the second floor. A 500 m² cleanroom on level L7, with two raw material airlocks, a revolving door, and a personnel airlock, ensures optimal working conditions.

P17 Building, emblem of the campus is a glazed cubic volume spanning four floors (50m x 50m x 20m). Its double-skin façade, made of wood and aluminum modules combined with extra-clear glass, offers panoramic views and a mirror effect reflecting the surrounding mountains. This double skin also acts as a windbreak. At the center, a 20-meter-high atrium illuminates and connects the floors beneath a shed-style glass roof. The glazed walkways are linked by floating metal staircases, and a light oak tiered seating area enlivens the base of the atrium.

P0 Building :The Visitor Welcome Pavilion
Located at the entrance to the campus, this 200 m² space serves as the main access point for visitors. It stands out with its asymmetrical roof folded along the diagonal, with the southern slope rising toward the heart of the campus.
A large reinforced concrete canopy, combined with adjustable sunshades, provides solar protection for this glazed volume.

The landscaping project aims to create an environment that is both functional, aesthetic, and pleasant. The goal is to provide a high-quality working environment for employees while fostering an atmosphere conducive
to creativity and innovation.

In harmony with the surrounding landscape, this atmosphere is intended to be enjoyable and calming. It offers outdoor workspaces, terraces, picnic areas, and social zones. The entire campus is designed as a true living space, promoting both work and relaxation.

In the heart of the site, the landscaped, pedestrian park is rhythmically
divided into numerous landscape sequences. Through the strategic display of plant diversity and the treatment of pathways, the entire landscape adds a new richness to the project.

The vegetated canopy, located in the center of the campus, serves as a meeting and informal strolling space between the various buildings, while an elliptical water mirror reflects the site’s floodable nature. Furthermore, 100 trees, including many pines, are planted to enhance both the biodiversity and aesthetics of the campus. The vegetation echoes the garrigue and Mediterranean gardens, rich in scents and colors. This planting creates a pleasant environment while offering shaded and refreshing areas, in harmony with the local climate. Water management is also an integral part of the project.In fact, the water pathways (swales, basins, etc.) follow the main axis of the site.

The park is bordered by pedestrian flows to ensure both natural and fluid
movement. This intuitive path guides users through the various
programmed sequences:

• the bleachers (open-air amphitheater)

• the sports island (sports practice area)

• the collective games (relaxation area)

• the lunch breaks (food court)

• the plaza (landscaped space with a bassin)

• the swales (promenade)
