“The project for the new school also requires the enhancement of the green area to strengthen the ‘unity’ of the campus and of each building composing it.” AF
The project for the new school requires the following works:
1. extending the premises of the secondary school, by setting up a new longitudinal body
2. locating the technical-professional high school, with five classrooms and relevant services, within the existing southern block;
3. setting up a building “accommodating” the secondary school and the high school with separated spaces. The administrative offices (headmaster’s study, secretary, teachers’ lounge…) will be located in the existing southern block; the common equipment (multi-purpose classroom, library, canteen…) will be located on the lowest floors of the new building;
4. transformation of the northern building into a civic center hosting all the associations of Campodarsego, a municipal library (350 sqm), other collective services and a refreshment area;
5. enhancing the green area to strengthen the “unity” of the campus and of each building composing it.
