Year 2014-2018

Location Port-au-Prince, Haiti

Client UEH (State University of Haiti) (funding: Clinton Foundation, IDB, Qatar, UNOPS)

Faculty of Science downtown, Port-au-Prince.

The original building is located on rue Monseigneur Guilloux in Port-au-Prince, in the Cité Administrative area, opposite the new General Hospital. Financed by institutions such as the Clinton Foundation, IDB, Qatar aid and UNOPS, this unique building has facades protected from the sun and views with a set of geometrically alternated lattices. The building is arranged towards an interior space that resolves the difference in height between the streets, by means of a grandstand, while the classrooms look out onto this landscaped interior space.
