The new gym is located at the entrance of the new Saint-Sauveur district in Lille. It replaces the Marcel Bertrand room, which was closed in 2019.
The project, developed on three levels, helps augment the image of the district through its concave curved roofs and bright metallic corrugated envelope. Large windows open into the various superimposed sports halls, creating from the inside a view of the city and from the outside a view of the sports areas.
The first two levels are organised around a prefabricated concrete column and beam system on which prefabricated concrete floors are placed. The building is covered by a wooden roof with a layer of vegetation, perforated with windows to illuminate the interior.
