Together, KAAN Architecten and EGM architecten are about to draft a design for the new Nantes hospital. They will do this in consortium with the French J.Pierre Pranlas Descours Studio (JPPD) for urban development, the Dutch engineering office Valstar-Simonis, the French engineering office EVP Ingénierie and the Spanish Boma Inpasa. Furthermore French Philippe Talbot et Associés, Cicad Consultants, TN+ and Peutz et associés are in the team.

On the whole, the European consortium has managed to qualify out of 23 inscriptions together with 3 other teams: AIA architects, which will cooperate with the Portuguese Souto de Moura, the French-Belgian Art & Build which consists of Jean-Philippe Pargade, the Artelia study office and Signes Paysage for urban development and finally the French Reichen et Robert, which consists of Groupe 6 and the study offices Ingerop, Setec and Berim.

The project teams will have six months to submit a project proposal. By the end of 2014, a definitive choice will be made by Christiane Coudrier, the superintendent of CHU Nantes.
