The Pierresvives building of the department de lHerault is characterised by the unification of three institutions the archive, the library and the sports department within a single envelope. These shared facilities are contained inside a curved concrete block. A recessed section of green-tinted glass runs along the length of the facade, where a first-floor foyer connects the library and offices with shared facilities that include meeting rooms, an auditorium and an exhibition space.
