Antoine Battistelli, Head of the Maison des Mines et des Ponts
The Maison des Mines et des Ponts completed a cycle of expansion and updates in 2021.
The extension has resulted in an increase in the number of beds, both in the residence and in the other close building.
The building has been optimized with the relocation of the director’s service apartment and its transformation into 6 bedrooms on the 1st floor (in 2016), with the redefinition of the technical facilities on the ground floor (2 bedrooms in 2019) and the elevation (5 bedrooms in 2021).
The MdMP has 3 adjoining apartments, 2 in the 5th district, one purchased by the management association at 13 rue des lyonnais (5 bedrooms in 2017), the other by the Fondation Mines Paris (6 bedrooms in 2018), and 1 in the 15th district (2 bedrooms). In total, these 26 new rooms in 5 years represent 47 additional beds.
The Maison des Mines et des Ponts has an APL (Personalized Housing Assistance) agreement since 1993 and an amendment was signed on January 14th 2021 to properly cover the 44 new beds, and as a total number of 437 (including 1 for the disabled, which means 435 beds with no equipment for the disabled).
The Maison des Mines et des Ponts has also become a student accommodation, in accordance with the Equality and Citizenship law n°2017-86.

For us, asking for a room at the MdMP at the beginning of our studies seemed like a good choice even though we had never set foot there thanks to the attractive rents for the 5th district and the promise of a community life.
After a few weeks of stay, we quickly understood how much this choice had been more than beneficial, and it is now clear that our student life owes a lot to the MdMP.
Indeed, what would be better than having in the same building rooms to make music, sports, watch movies, meet and even wash your laundry?
You are always sure to find someone enthusiastic for any activity, and the planning of the associations takes full advantage of the potential of the accommodation. The great hall in the basement can be used for all types of gatherings: shows, films, parties, sport.
