A consortium led by Eiffage Construction has won one of France’s largest public investments of the decade: a €1.3bn contract to design and build the Grand Paris Nord teaching hospital campus in Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine in the north of Paris.

The 900-bed hospital, to be known officially as the Saint-Ouen Grand Paris Nord University-Hospital Campus, will replace two others, one in Bichat and one in Beaujou, Clichy.

It will consist of four buildings grouped around a 4,000-sq-m garden with teaching and laboratory space, treatment facilities and a convention centre. The design will make extensive use of planted roofs, renewable energies and reused materials.

The teaching facilities will include imaging and simulation suites for medical, dental and nursing research and training.

Eiffage is teaming up with architects PCA-Stream and Michel Rémon & Associés, as well as consultants Ingérop, WSP and OASIIS to carry out the project.

Eiffage Services will operate and maintain the campus for 12 years.

This contract was announced by EPAURIF, the public-sector body responsible for university development in the Île-de-France, and was awarded by Paris-Cité university.

Design is expected to take 17 months, after which ground will be broken in spring 2026.

The hospital is scheduled to admit patients in the third quarter of 2029 after a 40-month construction period.
