The building

The 5-storey building will house consultations and day hospitals for disciplines linked to the identification and management of neurodevelopmental disorders (child psychiatry, neurology, neonatology, ophthalmology, ENT, genetics, functional explorations), clinical and fundamental research platforms, start-up areas and associations.

Several connections with the Robert-Debré AP-HP hospital will be created. Funding of €40M has been allocated by the French government as part of the Assises de la santé mentale et de la psychiatrie (mental health and psychiatry conference) in September 2021.

Following an architectural competition, the design of the building was entrusted to AIA Designers Architectes.
