In this regard, starting with the division of regional competences (2001), a slow but effective process was launched which saw as protagonists the public bodies closest to the citizen and able to assess the needs of the built environment with more sensitivity. It is in this context that, among the various redevelopment interventions of the existing building heritage, there is the need to expand and revalue an institute for elementary education located in the Municipality of Valera Fratta (Lodi). The school in question needed an intervention to expand its user capacity and at the same time improve the existing conditions. In particular: - The existing endowment of classrooms was insufficient to meet the demand of the population following the demographic increases; - Numerous equipment present, especially in the plant engineering field, appeared deteriorated and unable to be able to properly perform their functions, especially in a delicate area such as the present one, in which health, hygiene and safety requirements are a priority. - It required a replacement of the furniture to be able to carry out school activities correctly. The guiding elements for the preliminary design immediately appeared as: - The need to expand the new by connecting functionally and aesthetically while respecting the existing; - The use of materials suitable for a school context of primary education (geometries, edges, fireproof and non-toxic characteristics) but capable of transmitting the character of hospitality; - The introduction of "child-friendly" plant equipment and useful for the safe use of small users; - The will to establish a comfortable and welcoming place; The second design phase specifically saw the definition of the intervention program. It required: - The new construction of a large internal atrium with the function of a canteen; - The new construction of the service rooms for the canteen; - The new construction of a service block for school expansion; - The complete redesign and overhaul of the existing services block; - The introduction of new school furniture especially as regards the classroom and canteen desks; - The containment of energy performance; - Regulatory provisions for children and employees in terms of health and hygiene; The project outcome was therefore: - Creation of a new school block capable of resuming the aesthetic characteristics of the exterior but capable of absorbing new functions; - Realization of the cover with false ceiling able to house the air conditioning system for the hygro-thermal regulation of the internal comfort ; - The use of finishes for the safety of the edges; - Lighting with large full-height windows for the atrium and localized openings in the canteen services; - Desks, chairs and finishes with different bright colors as well as comfort; pdf Contact us XODUS New Media site creation Sitalcea srl - VAT: 01116310184 Registered office: Via Rismondo, 4 - 27100 Pavia (Pv) Operational office: Via Vigentina, 172 - 27100 Pavia (Pv) Tel. 0382 579418 - Fax. 0382 579419 - PEC sitalcea@pcert.it Privacy Policy
