Built in a year and a half, today the new Bordeaux city council offices centralise most services to citizens and accommodates 850 employees previously spread over fifteen sites. Part of the building is a cantilever overlooking the tram, a real technical challenge for the teams at Bouygues Bâtiment Centre Sud-Ouest. BEPOS-certified, the Cité Municipale operates under a Public Sector-Private Sector Partnership contract; site maintenance will thus be taken care of by Bouygues Energies et Services for a period of 20 years.
