Modernisation of the Simone-Veil Hospital

10 March 2010 - Projects update and handover - France

On 11 December, in Eaubonne (Paris region), the foundation stone for the Simone-Veil Hospital was laid in the presence of Simone Veil, patron of this establishment and former French Minister of Health. The product of the merging, in 1998, of the Eaubonne and Montmorency hospitals, the hospital is currently undergoing a major redevelopment, the first phase of which, worth €41m, is being implemented by VINCI Construction France subsidiaries GTM Bâtiment and CBC.
It involves modernising existing facilities (enlarging the casualty department, reorganisation of the layout of the medical imaging departments, extension and upgrading of the theatre block), and the construction of a new building which will provide in-patient accommodation on two levels. And an esplanade will be created for pedestrians. Handover of the extension (19,500 sq. metres) is scheduled for June 2011, followed, a year later, by that of the redeveloped facilities (4,500 sq. metres).
