Project Stakeholders
Gaëlle Péneau Architectes et Associés
The architectural agency Gaëlle Péneau Architectes et Associés (GPAA) fosters a dynamic of creativity, intellectual enrichment, and artistic sensibility. The knowledge that the architectural profession is central to major societal issues such as the environment is a topic of much discussion, and determines which projects the firm chooses to take on.
Établissement Public d’Aménagement Universitaire de la Région Ile-de-France
The mission of the Établissement Public d’Aménagement Universitaire de la Région Ile-de-France (EPAURIF) is to help regional universities and institutions of higher education and research implement their real estate strategy. It has been a partner of Dauphine-PSL since 2013.
After conducting preliminary studies and defining the campus transformation program, EPAURIF was appointed project manager in March 2016. This role makes EPAURIF responsible for managing the construction project, including overseeing the work, monitoring the costs, and managing project deadlines.
EPAURIF is thus in charge of managing the university’s contracts (with the architects, contractors, etc.) and standards compliance. It has to work within the constraints of the university site, including the fact that it will be occupied during construction, and is responsible for upgrading the site to comply with technical standards and improving its energy performance. The augmented partnership between EPAURIF and Dauphine-PSL teams facilitates ongoing information sharing in order to ensure the ultimate success of the project.
A Co-Creation Project with Stakeholder Collaboration
The construction site has one particular feature: it will be occupied and in use while the works are being carried out.
The project has been designed to ensure continuity in terms of our research and teaching activities while the works are taking place, and the works have been categorized as producing “low noise emissions”. The building of the new wing has been prioritized, so that this space can be used to temporarily house the offices and class rooms from the historic building while the renovation works are carried out.
Valérie Renaudin, Vice-President for Capital Projects and New Campus, has galvanized all stakeholders around the project, to ensure university life can continue under the best possible conditions, while fostering a spirit of co-creation and creating an environment that allows original ideas and initiatives to emerge.
From consultation to action
- A committee made up of research professors and administrative staff met on a regular basis between February and June 2022 to rethink the use of office space in the post-Covid era.
- The working group Travaux Dau’ (Dauphine Works), comprised of student representatives and the Vice- President, met on a monthly basis to address subjects relating to the building project and anticipate the needs of the student community during the construction phase.
- Members of the Laboratory for Analysis and Modeling of Decision Support Systems (LAMSADE) came up with a kinematics algorithm, to help optimize the planning of successive moves during the course of the construction and renovation works, up until the completion of the project in 2027.
Student organization engagement
- A group of a dozen Master’s in Business Transformation students developed a student Ambassador program to ensure the visibility and involvement of the student community in the project.
- To prepare for the upcoming moves, an awareness campaign titled “Tri’Athlon” was launched to provide guidance on sorting in the offices. This was planned in collaboration with the Dauphine Durable and Noise Paris-Dauphine student associations.
- New social spaces will replace the Cour d’honneur (main courtyard), which will be undergoing construction work from September 2022. The first of these will be located at the end of the courtyard, and will feature a mural by the artist Jibé, winner of the Street Art @ Dauphine competition, which was organized by the Urbaine Paris student association and the university. Snapshots selected by Lab Photo and Dauphine, which perfectly encapsulate life at Dauphine, will be on display along the external walkways of wing A, which in the future will be relaxation areas.
