"The Aqualudic Center "L'O" is located a ten-minute walk from Orleans train station, occupying the former site of the city's jail, decommissioned in 2014."
"Once an urban rupture, cut off from its surroundings by a long perimeter wall, the site now hosts a public facility that establishes a renewed dialogue with its neighborhood."
Aqualudic Center L'O occupies the former Orléans city jail site, decommissioned in 2014, located a ten-minute walk from the train station. The project replaces a long perimeter wall and an isolated urban rupture with a public aquatic facility that reopens connections to the surrounding streets. The conversion activates the site edge, restores permeability, and provides water-based leisure and civic amenities for local residents. The project functions as adaptive reuse and urban regeneration, transforming an institutional barrier into a community hub that fosters neighborhood engagement and continuity in the urban fabric.
