en.Wedoany.com Reported - VINCI Construction has secured a €210 million (approximately $238 million) tax-exclusive engineering contract to build the second building of the new Reims hospital complex for the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Reims (CHU de Reims). Of this amount, €157 million (approximately $178.5 million) is allocated to VINCI Construction.
The consortium overseeing project execution is led by the architectural firm Pargade Architectes. The entire construction period is planned for 45 months, during which the hospital will remain fully operational. The scope of work covers a seven-story building with a floor area of 58,000 square meters. Upon completion, the new facility will provide 498 beds and include reception and diagnostic areas, a medical platform, inpatient wards, a pharmacy, logistics, and technical control rooms.
The building is named after Madeleine Brès, recognized as the first French woman to earn a medical degree. The new building primarily supports medical activities focused on chronic diseases and neurosciences, and its design will connect with existing structures to ensure seamless access and integration across the entire campus. The broader New Reims Hospital project aims to enhance CHU's healthcare services, with development plans including equipment upgrades and improved services for both outpatient and inpatient care.
VINCI has previously been involved in the construction of the first building of the new Reims hospital complex. The company stated that this contract reflects VINCI Group's ongoing participation in French healthcare infrastructure projects. VINCI's ongoing hospital projects include the "New Lariboisière" building for the Assistance Publique – Hôpitaux de Paris, the Hôpital Métropolitain de l’Artois in Lens, the new CHU in Nantes, as well as the reconstruction of the Chaumont hospital, the CHU de Caen, and the Hôtel-Dieu hospital of the Assistance Publique – Hôpitaux de Paris.
