Contract Signed to Build New Trousseau Hospital in France

Bouygues Construction has signed a contract to build the New Trousseau Hospital, a project that will improve patient care. The value of the contract for this hospital in the heart of the Tours agglomeration in central France is €241 million.

The new 80,000-square-meter hospital complex, designed by AIA Architectes, will provide approximately 600 beds. With 25 operating theaters and 13 treatment rooms, the hospital will expand its surgical capacities, offering more efficient patient care, while bringing together a number of departments of the Tours Regional University Teaching Hospital spread over several facilities in the Tours agglomeration.

The project consists of the construction of two closely linked buildings on the site of the Trousseau Hospital. This initiative demonstrates the Regional University Teaching Hospital’s desire to confirm its operational excellence in treating patients and supporting research and teaching in healthcare.

The New Trousseau Hospital will include:

• Main building, on four levels, housing the accident and emergency department, orthopedic consultations, a large imaging platform, forensic institute, operating theaters and treatment rooms and the hospital sterilization facility, as well as intensive care units
• Second four-story building containing inpatient wards, outpatient treatment departments, ophthalmology consultations and a laboratory zone
• Entrance hall connecting both buildings with an admissions desk
• Basement providing car-parking space

The contract for the New Trousseau Hospital will be carried out by a consortium formed by two subsidiaries of Bouygues Construction (Bouygues Bâtiment Centre Sud-Ouest and Bouygues Bâtiment Grand Ouest), Equans Axima, Eiffage Énergie Systèmes and Cegelec Val-de-Loire.

Construction on the project, which is due for completion in late 2027, will employ up to 450 people at peak times, with a strong commitment to local employment and integration of local and disadvantaged people. The worksite was organized to ensure continuity of care at the nearby Tours Regional University Teaching Hospital.
