The new buidings are implanted around an East-west axis, opening a perspective towards gardens. New constructions are grouped together on half of the site, releasing the West part of the site valorized by landscaping, and taking into account a possible extension of the plant in continuity with the surroundings. The aeration pond is transformed into an aquatic garden. The plant is opened to visitors for educational tours.
