Works to start on Roland-Garros’ Suzanne Lenglen roof, France

Following the end of the 2021 Roland-Garros French Tennis Open, works for the retractable roof over the Suzanne-Lenglen court will begin.

The project is being launched ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. It will offer a mobile protection device to the second biggest tennis court (10,000 seats) of the Roland-Garros stadium.

As a leader of an advisory team, Mott MacDonald has been appointed by the French Tennis Federation to work on the modernisation of the tennis complex. The company’s Paris team will manage the operation to ensure its success in terms of planning, cost and expected quality. The work includes feasibility and scoping, procurement advisory, project management and technical advisory.

Designed by French architect Dominique Perrault, the works will be led by Renaudat Center Constructions through a design and build contract for a total amount of approximately €45 million. The project will use approximately 50% recycled steel on approximately 1000 tonnes of material and have a 370 m² photovoltaic panel.

Mott MacDonald’s project director, Jean-Sébastien Voisin, said “I am very excited to be working on the iconic Roland-Garros Stadium. This project will enable the organisation of the Olympic and Paralympic Games events and mean fans will enjoy the tennis in all weather for years to come.”

Works are being planned around the two next Roland-Garros tournaments in 2022 and 2023 to ensure availability of the Suzanne Lenglen court. The work is scheduled to be finished by December 2023.
