After receipt of all the government approvals, construction firms were under competitive tender and a choice was jointly decided with the architect, AFM and AIM. Work on the extension of the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) centre will start in March and is scheduled to open at the beginning of the academic year 2008.
The first step is to regroup the NMR teams in the vicinity of the two magnets and also to welcome external teams depending on projects. Concerning the 200m2 thus created, ideas are not lacking for its use.  Coordination between the users and the different needs already planned will be necessary.
