University of Lyon wants to develop a model Ecocampus

Located in Villeurbanne, in the suburbs of Lyon, LyonTech campus, the site of Donna, wants to become a leader in innovative clean technologies. For this, he intends to rely on its two core areas: the chemistry and engineering for sustainable development. "The principle is to design a campus that will serve as ecologically exemplary research support and training in the field of sustainable urban development" , "said Jean Chaudonneret, project director at the university of Lyon.

The Ecocampus Lyon, fully vegetated, wants to go even further, with management of public lighting in collaboration with laboratories located on the site, development of soft transport modes, deferral of parking outside, rehabilitation of existing buildings that meet high environmental standards (QEH), and especially the sustainable water management: organization of green and blue, retrieval, storage and utilization of water surface and rainwater for irrigation, use of innovative technologies Natural bitumen such as porous pavements covering.

"The campus is not designed as a space that we will be content with a green label HQE" says Michel Lussault, president of the Center for Research and Higher Education ( PRES) in Lyon. According to the proponents, to be finished by 2020, it is not to create an eco-neighborhood "traditional", but to rehabilitate an existing urban area of 100 ha and 220 000 m 2 buildings, which hosts 22,000 students and 2,000 researchers from three institutions: the University Claude Bernard Lyon-I, National Institute of Applied Sciences and College of Chemistry and Physics Electronic.

"Innovation is the function of a campus" , "says Dr. Chaudonneret, who insists that " the proposed rehabilitation, sector by sector, is unprecedented in France ". Not only virtuous, but also subject of study for researchers, rather than testing of innovative technologies for industrial partners and public awareness website and school campus LyonTech became, even before being converted, an object of curiosity.
The project, whose cost is estimated 300 million euros, is part of a wider operation, Lyon Cité Campus, which aims, among other things, rehabilitating buildings and rethink the outdoor campus de la Doua Lyon and Charles Mérieux, through a call for projects under the stimulus plan. This must be funded to the tune of 575 million euros by the state, 85 million from the Rhone-Alpes, 36 of the Rhône department and 32 of the urban community of Lyon.
