A sustainable project
In Jonage (Rhône), our teams delivered at the end of 2020 this international training, research and innovation campus with a surface area of 36,000 m² for RTE (Réseau de Transport d'Electricité, the leader in high-voltage electricity transmission, operator of the French transmission network and responsible for the public grid).
The exemplary nature of the campus is not only found in the courses taught there, but also in the environmental and energy performance of the project proven by the many certifications and labels:
- HQE Sustainable Building certification
- Bio-based Building certification - level 3
- BEPOS Effinergie 2017 label - E3C1
- Biodivercity label
- Eiffage wood label initiative: initiated by the Eiffage Group's sustainable development and cross-functional innovation department, this forest origin certification establishes the origin of the wood used and provides a clear overview of the entire wood processing chain.
The operation is fully aligned with our ambitious environmental approach.

Bold architecture combining wood, concrete and metal
Designed by AIA LIFE DESIGNERS, the exterior beauty of the development is due in particular to the mix of materials: wood, concrete, metal, a winning recipe for original architecture.
A true showcase for RTE, this campus comprises:
- 9 «spine» buildings with timber frames and connected timber-concrete floors, with over 900 timber façade panels with connected concrete facing, that required an "Atex" technical assessment (Appréciation technique d'expérimentation). Inserting these elements illustrates our know-how in timber construction
- Two sets of external passageways called the «streets» offer «walkways» to access the « spines», made of metal framework supported on large «V»-shaped wooden posts: an architectural nod to the sinusoid curve of alternating current
- Two buildings made of metal framework and cladding for the Reception hall and the Museum.
Synergies between the Group's business lines
Led by Eiffage Construction, the operation included teams from Eiffage énergie Systèmes and Clévia who delivered the technical packages: High and low voltage electricity, heating, ventilation and air conditioning. A fine illustration of the synergy that exists between the Group's different business lines!
In total, more than 250 workers from all trades were active on this project, with more than 17,000 hours of access-to-work programmes recorded.
