Futuroscope: Legrand equips a futuristic hotel and a 7000 m2 Arena

A themed and experiential four-star hotel with 76 rooms, Station Cosmos at Futuroscope reproduces the universe of an intergalactic base, with a pilots' bar and a unique Rollercoaster Restaurant®.

Camille Boulay, project manager at Futuroscope, explains the importance of scenography and the desire to accessorize places to reproduce a cinematographic universe. On the electrical part, the finishes and equipment were particularly meticulous for an exceptional final result. He appreciated working in true partnership with the various service providers and suppliers, in particular Legrand. From the point of view of product development and system maintainability, Legrand responded perfectly to his request.

Benoît Jacquemin, CEO of Lumelec, electrical installer on the site of the Station Cosmos hotel, opted for an electrical installation using Legrand:

• The power/protection installation with all Legrand electrical cabinets, TGBTs and distribution boards
• The VDI multimedia network in Legrand
• The connected device system with UX Touch touch controls, in GRMS IP BACnet, to control the air conditioning, the opening of windows, the lights, the blinds and the thermostat to save energy
• Céliane electrical equipment from Legrand, notably with the Nickel Velours finish
• 8 charging stations for Green'Up Legrand electric vehicles (IRVE)

It also implemented the power installation of the 7000m² Futuroscope multi-purpose hall at Legrand in Legrand, meeting two major challenges:

• Optimization of electrical cabinet space
• The implementation of electrical cables in the roof at 15 meters high

On the Futuroscope Arena site, there is a TGBT and a 2500A busbar, 70 distribution boards, as well as Legrand Plexo equipment, P17 industrial sockets, and the Legrand VDI network with bays, Ethernet sockets and fiber optical.

On this major project in Poitiers, the CEO of Lumelec appreciated the technical support: the Legrand teams checked all the calculation notes to validate the entire type of equipment to be installed, an additional guarantee vis-à-vis the customer. . He also praises Legrand's service, in particular on-time deliveries so that the Lumelec teams do not waste time connecting the installations.
