> The answer

The project will develop outdoor spaces several objectives:
1. To dentify clearly the access and circulations in order to pacify areas. This involves limiting the use of cars in the west entrance, with a simple crossing of a wide pedestrian area to access the staff parking. Deliveries access must occur at the east entrance, in a search of heavy roads economy.
2. To make circulations readable within the establishment by the choice of flooring.
3. To limit the site’s waterproofing by prioritizing ways and paths jigs, and pooling some traffic using the orthogonal plane. In this capacity the staff parking spaces facilities are made in permeable material

The integration of the ATC in its environment requires a generous treatment of the fringes in the continuity of the existing plant masses around the site. The vegetation will also accompany the surface stormwater management while responding to the issue of maintenance limitation.

At the heart of the site and buildings, there is the central demonstration area. This agora will seat collective construction areas, allowing to highlight the apprentices’ skills. This space is edged on both sides by channel-ditches, limited by linear banks. Clumps trees will be planted in clumps in those ditches.
