Inaugurated on the 1st June, a new building has been added to the huge puzzle of the Euroméditerranée operation: the Archives and Library of the Département. Designed by the cabinet of the Marseille architect Corinne Vezzoni & associés, the imposing building makes its mark in the centre of the historic port district of Arenc, on the site of former warehouses. On 9th June, it was the turn of the new passenger terminal designed by Lanoire & Courian to be inaugurated. It notably provides a 3000m² roof terrace giving a panoramic view over the port.
