The justification for a multi-purpose programme is to respond to priority needs that are not necessarily complementary, and to this must be added the need to transcribe a project that identifies the legibility and coherence of the work. The operation includes: - a fire station with 36 lodgings and four rooms for trainees, an intervention centre with a guardhouse, firefighters' preparation rooms and a garage (five cells), as well as associated functions (in particular technical workshops, fuel storage tanks, and a manoeuvring yard), an administrative and training centre (theoretical training), a collective catering and relaxation centre, a centre for the technical functions of the fire station with specific dimensional constraints; - a nursery with 50 cots divided into four units of 10-15 children, with general services, a preparation kitchen, and adapted outdoor areas; - tertiary activity areas including a business centre of approximately 1,000 m² and 9,000 m² of high quality offices; - approximately 20,000 m² of residential premises, including 120 state-owned flats, mostly F2s and F3s (14 of which will eventually be used by the fire station) and the rest in a hotel residence including top-of-the-range flats, from studios to six rooms, as well as room service/housekeeping; - the International School of Monaco, a private educational establishment (720 students), offering a curriculum from nursery to final year; - a luxury cinema complex; - a public space with a surface area of no less than 1,500 m².
