Description

Refunctionalization of the old multimedia hall and its adjacent areas. Construction of two classrooms, implemented with high-tech multimedia devices, and renovation of other spaces. Before that, it was necessary to revise the whole complex, according to fire safety, architectural barriers and air circulation requirements. The necessity to operate in a school complex, safeguarded by the Superintendence, forced the team to mediate with the Fire Department and other tenants in order to adjust the existing escape routes (it was impossible to unlock new tracks). The analysis and report of the load bearing structures allowed to completely preserve the hall floor, thanks to the addition of a light frame metal structure. Therefore, the new floor physical conditions allowed the possibility to host a public Hall. The 240 seats, opportunely located, are accessible through safe paths.)
