Description
The project to re-functionalise the offices of the University of Bologna aims to convert the University spaces of the current Chemistry Department “G. Ciamician” into offices for the General Administration of the University.
The project brings the building back to its original state recovering the width of the spaces that so well lend themselves to the new typology of functional use with the creation of open space environments.
The first and second floor will be used for offices with relaxing areas, meeting rooms and flash meeting rooms. The Aula Magna will be restored with the intention of bringing to light the frescoes hidden by the existing painting. The same, however, in line with the objective of the intervention, will no longer carry out functions for teaching but rather for the organization of conferences in general intended for a wider audience.
The intervention, therefore, wants to maintain a close link with the origins of the building going to revolutionize, at the same time, its intended use by creating environments that support new working methods.
