Computer Science Department, Nantes
This design competition for the extension of the Department of Computer Science, will add new class rooms, workstations and student spaces, near Nantes, France.
The Computer Science Department project at Nantes Université is a planned architectural extension located on the Campus de la Fleuriaye in Carquefou, part of the Nantes metropolitan area. The initiative seeks to relocate the university’s Computer Science Department from its current city-centre premises to a sustainable, purpose-built extension designed to foster modern learning environments and collaborative academic life.
Conceived within the university’s long-term estate strategy, the scheme forms part of the State–Region Planning Contract. The programme includes new teaching laboratories, multipurpose classrooms and shared student spaces, integrated with existing facilities such as lecture theatres and research halls. This project embodies a forward-looking model of campus renewal.
