Located in Javené, France, the headquarters of the National Agency for Veterinary Medicines (ANSES ANMV) is designed by DLW Architectes, has been recognized as one of the "100 Buildings of the Year" by AMC in 2019.

The ANSES ANMV headquarters is situated in the heart of a campus dedicated to health, reflecting its critical role in the evaluation and authorization of veterinary drugs in France.

Set amidst a picturesque countryside landscape, the building is surrounded by bocage and ponds, creating a serene environment that enhances its natural appeal. The design continues the architectural language of the nearby Bioagropolis building, also designed by Lionel Dunet, ensuring a cohesive aesthetic across the campus.

ANSES ANMV headquarters made extensive use of cross-laminated timber (CLT) for its construction. The building combines a concrete core with Sylva™ CLT Floors and Roofs with Rib panels for the structure.

The Rib panels were specified because of their very high load-bearing capacity and low self-weight. These prefabricated structural elements span long distances without the need for additional beams or supports, making them ideal for creating open and flexible floor plans.
