This contract covers construction of the first new building, consisting of two sixteen-storey structures and an underground car park on six floors, for a total floor surface area of 65,000 m².
A project with a low carbon footprint
This operation is part of the expansion and modernisation of the Princess Grace Hospital. The current hospital will continue to function during the work, with a noise protection dome in place during the earthworks and support phase to mitigate noise pollution in what is a dense urban environment.
The project will use the Exegy® approach launched by VINCI Construction, whose aim is to make the use of low-carbon concrete more widespread. 85% of the concrete used on the project will be low-carbon, with a composition that reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 30%.

The bioclimatic design of the outer shell will ensure comfortable temperatures inside the building, with corrugated high performance concrete sunshades across its entire façade. Most patients will have a sea view from their room.
