PRISME, Pôle de référence Inclusif Sportif Métropolitain, is a brand-new hub for disabled sports, the only one of its kind in Europe. PRISME opens its doors to the general public on February 1, 2025 (the date of its inauguration and opening to the public). Located in Bobigny, it welcomes both able-bodied and disabled people.
During the Paralympics, the facility was used for handball training. Le Prisme was inaugurated on August 27, 2024 for the lighting of the Olympic Flame cauldron.
The Agitos, symbols of the Paralympic Games installed in June 2024 on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, will be deposited on the complex dedicated to handisport in Bobigny: Le Prisme.
The PRISME includes a large hall equipped with bleachers, and will host handisport competitions. The architects working on this sports facility are Christophe Gulizzi Architectes and Roméo Architecture.
The 13,000m² facility is spread over 3 levels:
Rooms dedicated to training and seminars. A "resources" area is supplied by the federations and Sorbonne Paris Nord University. The sports hub also includes a research center dedicated to sport and health (physiotherapy and medical staff).
PRISME is surrounded by three sites in Bobigny: the La Motte Stadium, which will be an extension of PRISME, the Sorbonne Paris Nord University and the Avicenne Hospital.
An underground parking lot will allow access to the site, which will be adapted to various disability situations.
