Nuovo Polo Scolastico Scuola Secondaria Di I° Grado “Cardinale Carlo Agostini”

The new building can accommodate 525 students in 21 classrooms for educational activities, 4 laboratories, a multifunctional connective space on each floor, and two reading areas, in addition to classrooms for teachers and services on each floor. The rooms are arranged around the four sides of the large central connective space, which thus serves both a distributive and relational function, creating a welcoming environment.

On the first floor, a large terrace ensures natural lighting and ventilation for the connecting spaces. Vertical distribution occurs via a central stairwell, illuminated by a large skylight on the roof. For the interior design, materials were selected to meet high durability standards according to the EPD criteria. The intervention also included the restoration of the natural ecosystem within the lot, with particular attention to the design of the outdoor areas.

The result is a school complex with high energy efficiency and LEED© Gold certification.
