Following the awarding of a competition in partnership with the architectural firm VGA, Incide carried out the tasks of structural and plant design, works management, fire-fighting and safety for the demolition and new construction of the New Villa Ferro School Complex (primary school and secondary school) in Fidenza (Parma).
The new building was conceived as a multifunctional settlement that also functions during extracurricular hours, designed as an environment for living and interaction, equipped with energy-efficient and comfortable classrooms directly connected to the new park.
The building is spread over two buildings connected by a glass walkway and was designed and built to minimise energy consumption and carbon emissions throughout its life cycle. The global energy demand of the school's plant system is covered by the photovoltaic system positioned on the roof, which covers the entire energy demand and allows the building to be classified as NZEB-20% (Nearly Zero Energy Building) . The energy class achieved by the building is A4, the best in terms of efficiency and energy saving.
The structural design was developed from a basic module of 7.5x7.5 m that guarantees future possible modifications and transformations. This modularity also simplifies the management and construction processes of the precast reinforced concrete load-bearing structures. All disciplines were designed using BIM platform.
