International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)

The CIRC project represents a major step forward in the modernization of the center’s infrastructure. Located in the Lyon-Gerland Biodistrict, the building features innovative and sustainable architecture. The project aims to provide an optimal workspace for researchers from all over the world, with ultra-modern laboratories and collaborative spaces. The building is designed to minimize its carbon footprint, with a central garden and green roofs contributing to local biodiversity. The arched ceiling, combined with Laudescher walls, delimits the various spaces, while creating visual fluidity between the reception, the counter and the elevator. This innovative design distinguishes functional areas while maintaining a coherent, fluid atmosphere, enhanced by the acoustic quality of our materials.
