L'Oréal to build a logistics campus in Orléans
The L'Oréal Group is to build a campus for its logistics division in Orléans, following in the footsteps of its competitor Dior, the LVMH subsidiary, which chose the city last year. The 35,000 m² project includes 2,314 m² of offices, certified BREEAM Excellent.
On the design team (maîtrise d'œuvre), the architects A26GL are working alongside the engineers JBD Expertise. They have opted for metal cladding to enclose the warehouses, while the offices will be clad in panels by Trespa.
The Cosmetic Park, in which the project sits, is being led by the property company Aréfim GE. The 78-hectare business park includes 17 hectares of protected woodland. On the amenities side, L'Oréal's employees will have access to a crèche, restaurants, a hotel and even tennis courts.
Construction, led by the contractor IDEC, begins this October and is due to finish at the end of 2021.
