The competition for the Institut Pasteur’s new center focusing on vector-borne diseases received a moderate score of three out of ten. The programming encompassed several essential elements, including P1, P2, and P3 laboratories, areas for both MOT (Microorganisms and Toxins) and NONMOT, specialized imaging and nano-imaging equipment, offices, meeting spaces, recreational areas, and technical zones. Notably, these areas were designed with considerable flexibility, allowing for a modular approach to their configuration.
