The project aims to transform the Copernico – Luxemburg school complex on Corso Caio Plinio into a low-energy building in accordance with the specifications set by the Recovery Fund. Additionally, a series of new constructions have been developed within the complex to increase the range of services available to students and school staff.
The new Bar building is designed to unify all the cafeterias within the complex into a single facility that can welcome students and staff in a more comfortable and well-equipped environment. It is structured as a cube, echoing the shape and mass of the existing buildings, with the distinctive feature of a hollowed volume highlighting the entrance.
The windows in this building play a crucial role, providing ample natural light, especially through “cut” windows on the south-facing wall, which reference the pilasters found on the school buildings. The flat roof is suitable for housing equipment such as chillers for cooling and solar thermal panels, which supply hot water to the various bathrooms inside the building, promoting sustainability.
The additions to school wings A and C are intended to connect the two existing sections and create multifunctional spaces. A distinctive feature of these spaces is the presence of movable walls, allowing the environment to be adapted as needed, expanding or reducing the space according to requirements.
