accessible water points

To ensure access to water points for filling water bottles and reduce the use of plastic bottles, we have installed indoor fountains (deployment is underway) and replaced small taps with "swan-neck" taps in the toilets to make it easier to fill water bottles.
In spring 2026, 3 outdoor fountains will be installed on the JH Fabre campus.
