Inspired by the spirit of large campuses, the building will promote collaboration and teamwork, thanks to common spaces designed to encourage exchanges.
This Friday morning, François Sauvadet, president of the Côte-d’Or Departmental Council, presented the progress of a major architectural project during a site visit to Dijon. “Osmose”, the future administrative building of the departmental council, is located near the Toison d’Or. This new building complex is distinguished by its careful integration into the local environment and its ecological ambition, highlighting the attention paid to the harmonization of the site with its natural setting.
This project, which will not be open to the public, will bring together around 400 territorial agents upon completion of the work. “Delivery of the project is scheduled for the end of 2026,” said the president during his presentation. According to him, this is a spatial reorganization aimed at centralizing the administrative services of the department and improving their efficiency.
François Sauvadet also highlighted the digital and futuristic dimension of the project, with the creation of a department dedicated to data management and artificial intelligence. “It is a digital direction, of data control, which is one of the major challenges of the future,” he declared, emphasizing the importance of these technologies for local authorities.
Environmentally, the building with 7,300m2 of usable space (for a budget of 30 million euros) will be a model of sustainability. It will notably be equipped with 321 photovoltaic panels, covering 20% of heating needs. A rainwater harvesting system, with storage of 15,000 liters, will be used to irrigate green spaces and use toilets. “We also wanted to use as many biosourced materials as possible,” added President Sauvadet, demonstrating the ecological commitment of the project.
Inspired by the spirit of large campuses, the building will promote collaboration and teamwork, thanks to common spaces designed to encourage exchanges. “It is a building which will also welcome minds, which is somewhat inspired by the campus spirit, which we see in large companies, which we see in large universities,” explained the president, emphasizing the innovative nature of the project.
François Sauvadet also praised the involvement of local companies in the project, including Roger Martin and Secobat, who are scrupulously respecting the set schedule. “Companies are coming here and moving forward on schedules that were exactly as planned. There is absolutely no delay,” he said, congratulating the teams for their professionalism.
The delivery of this modern and sustainable building marks a turning point for the department’s administrative services and reinforces Côte-d’Or’s commitment to the digital and environmental challenges of tomorrow.
