On Saturday 26 September, the new Cremonini Ongaro School Complex in Villa Ferro, Fidenza, officially opened its doors to the town: 19 classrooms, laboratories, two open-plan libraries, a sports hall and a 34,000-square-metre park for over 400 children. The project was developed as part of the \u2018Futura \u2014 La Scuola per l\u2019Italia di Domani\u2019 (Futura \u2014 The School for Tomorrow\u2019s Italy) call for proposals under the PNRR Education programme<\/strong>, and was completed in accordance with the timetable<\/strong> set out in the funding agreement.<\/p>\n

The architectural design bears the signature of Vittorio Grassi Architects<\/span><\/a>, who have created a bright building that opens out onto the park, breaking down the boundaries between inside and outside and placing the relationship between pupils and their surroundings at the heart of the design. \u201cWhen I design a school, I try to do so through the eyes of a child,\u201d says architect Vittorio Grassi, \u201cand I ask myself: if I were a child again, which school would I want to attend?<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Incide Engineering was responsible for giving this vision its structural framework<\/a> and the most efficient building systems<\/a>, overseeing the structural and services design using BIM<\/a>, as well as construction management<\/a>, fire safety<\/a> and security<\/strong> for the entire project.<\/p>\n

There are two key technical choices that look to the future:<\/p>\n

Sustainability<\/strong>: the rooftop photovoltaic system fully covers the building\u2019s energy requirements, which achieves energy class A4 \u2014 the highest possible \u2014 and the NZEB-20%<\/a> (Nearly Zero Energy Building) classification.<\/p>\n

Modularity<\/strong>: the prefabricated structure is based on a 7.5 x 7.5 m basic module, a flexible layout designed to accommodate extensions and alterations in the years to come \u2014 a school designed to grow alongside those who will use it.<\/p>\n

The entire project was coordinated via a single BIM platform<\/strong>, which enabled the engineering and architectural teams to collaborate<\/strong> and align their work throughout the project\u2019s development.<\/p>\n
