We present an interesting project of rehabilitation and expansion of a building from the sixties in poor condition and obsolete in relation to the intended uses. The idea is to transform it into an administrative space with offices for research staff, meeting rooms and classrooms, connected to a new laboratory building. In addition, the demolition of unusable pavilions and the construction of an annex building for classroom areas and general campus facilities are also envisaged. The new urbanization of the surrounding area also includes walkways, accesses and green areas to revitalize neglected areas. The exterior design is characterized by zinc finishes, stainless steel mesh and white concrete, creating a contemporary and functional architecture.
The project involves the demolition of a building dating from the 1960s in a poor state of repair and totally obsolete in relation to its intended uses. In addition, the project includes the demolition of unusable pavilions and the expansion of an annex building for classroom areas and general campus facilities.
The planned use for this refurbishment is administrative, i.e., it will be mostly resolved with offices for research staff, administration and management of the campus and meeting rooms and/or classrooms, and will be connected to the new laboratory building.
The new urbanization of the surroundings of the buildings where the intervention takes place, both in the southern and northern areas, organizes walkways, accesses and replanting of vegetation and wooded areas in the currently neglected or occupied areas.
In addition, it is not only necessary to accommodate uses different from the original ones, but also to provide it with spatial interest in the interior, projecting a volumetry and exterior composition that is faithful to a current way of understanding architecture and useful for the intended use.
Exterior finishes of zinc in different qualities, stainless steel mesh and white concrete are proposed, softening the contrast that the pre-existing buildings give to the Campus.
