University Hospital 2026

A new university hospital

Let's build the university hospital of tomorrow together!

A thoroughly redesigned architectural organization to improve the response to patients' needs.

  • Grouping services around platforms to streamline processes by bringing the professional to the patient.
  • Designing architecture around hotel quality (individual rooms), space planning (greening of exteriors, direct access to light in all spaces), and the human dimension from reception to the patient's room.

platform state-of- the-art

  • By 2026, the surgical and interventional activity platforms will allow for the development of the use of the latest minimally invasive techniques, robotics or artificial intelligence.
  • The consolidation of biological will, through automation,for a better response to emergencies and, through genomic sequencing, improve the integration of prevention into diagnosis.
  • Over the same period, imagingwill be the subject of investments in order to improve equipment and enable a digital transformation of imaging activities and the use of latest generation equipment.
  • From 2023, the pharmacy will benefit from modernized platforms and equipment, including storage and distribution, and an innovative preparation platform, a benchmark in western Normandy.

A capacity evolution adapted to the needs of the territory

  • Maintaining current hospital capacity while adapting to the aging population
  • Increase the number of outpatient places
  • Create an additional critical care unit
  • To streamline downstream care through a post-acute and medical care center on the Clemenceau site, which aims to be more open to the city

A digital transformation for all medical, caregiving, administrative, logistical and technical activities

To generalize the seamless and secure sharing of health data between professionals and users

Implement in the short term new solutions that should simplify the patient experience and the work of professionals (mobile application for monitoring and booking appointments, administrative management, etc.).

  • In the medium term, improving the collection, quality and availability of health data will open up new fields of application for research,
    diagnosis and care (data warehouse, data processing techniques, innovations…).

building environmentally conscious incorporating sustainable development approaches

process High Environmental Quality certification which aims to:

  • Controlling the impacts of a building on its external environment;
  • The preservation of natural resources;
  • Creating a healthy and comfortable indoor environment for building users.

This approach extends throughout the entire institutional project through reflection on eco-responsible organizations and practices: waste management, sustainable mobility, energy efficiency with the use of renewable energies, the use of less energy-intensive materials, green roofs or even eco-responsible catering.

The attention paid to the expectations of patients, users and families is reflected throughout the entire institutional project, through considerations of accessibility, simplification of administrative processes and development of the patient experience.
