It was very important to catch up. ”- Marie-Guite Dufay, President of the Bourgogne-Franche Comté region
Some buildings on the Bisontin campus date from the 1970s and have become unsuitable. An upgrade was necessary for Marie-Guite Dufay, the president of the regional authority: ” In terms of working conditions, we will be able to make up for the accumulated backlog. By adding up the plan contracts, the region will have released a total of more than 60 million euros, and that was a priority for us! “ At the end of her inaugural speech, the president of the University of Franche Comté, Macha Woronoff, for her part, recalled that 41% of the structures on the campus were dilapidated, or downright double the regional average.
The new Bouloie-Temis campus will be delivered at the end of 2025. In total, between new constructions and renovated buildings, 70,000 square meters will be impacted indoors. And transport has not been forgotten with nearly 3 kilometers of redesigned pedestrian and cycle paths, as well as an increase in the frequency of buses serving the campus.
