About Campus Technologies Grenoble
Established in Sassenage, on the campus site since 1962, the teams of Campus Technologies Grenoble create technological solutions implementing small essential molecules (oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, helium, etc.), in the fields of clean and sustainable energy, the protection of life and the exploration of the universe and matter.
A pioneering spirit has always reigned on campus: the first oxygen and hydrogen tanks for the Ariane rocket, the largest helium refrigeration system in the world, the first hydrogen station in the heart of Paris...
Cryogenics for space and scientific research is the site's historical activity. Aeronautics, the maritime industry, hydrogen energy and biomethane came next, with one thing in common: our expertise in extreme cryogenics and gas engineering. Innovation is also part of the site's DNA. We have always been inventing the technologies of the future there to meet the needs of our customers, the Air Liquide Group, as well as societal challenges and to open up new markets. It is an industrial engineering and production site, open to its ecosystem and deploying new ways of working.
Campus Technologies Grenoble employs around 1,200 people. It extends over 14 hectares, has a test center, 20,000 m2 of production workshops and will eventually have around 14,000 m2 of tertiary buildings. As part of a sustainable development approach, the campus is BREEAM certified, a certification standard relating to the environmental assessment of buildings. These have been built in such a way as to limit energy demand and their impact on the environment. The new buildings are equipped with a wooden structure, large glazed parts favoring the supply of natural light, or even a cooling system thanks to the circulation of water from the groundwater table instead of air conditioning.
