Building sector

Building of the new university headquarters of the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture of the University of Bologna in the area of the former sugar mill of Cesena.

The new building is shaped like a “U”, in the middle of which there is a large partially paved and partially green area.

The west wing hosts the Faculty of Engineering, while the east wing hosts the Faculty of Architecture, covering a total area of about 20,345.34 square metres.

The main pedestrian entrances are along the large paved square, on a level in higher than the road level, which can be reached from the side by means of a pedestrian ramp, accessible for disabled people, and a broad stairway. Access for vehicles is located under the large square, leading to two underground car parks on two different floors.

The short side of the new building hosts the parts common to the two faculties. In this connecting part of the building there are a café-foyer of two floors, the large Great Hall seating 350 people and the library with 120 seats and space for 100,000 books.

Floors are connected by five structures hosting stairs and lifts.

The roof is fully occupied by the plants, including photovoltaic panel systems.

Enlargement of the Montefiore shopping centre in Cesena

These works are the modification and enlargement of the Montefiore shopping centre, located in the stadium area, in the northern outskirts of Cesena. The surface of the existing superstore is expected to grow from 2,500 to 4,000 square metres, and three new non-food areas will be built, as well as a new catering area and some shops.

The works are not expected to interrupt the activities of the shopping centre; in order to ensure continuity of the business, some preliminary operations were carried out, in order to preserve the functionality of the two sites while guaranteeing safety.

The enlargement works require a number of activities, like excavation works and the installation of posts, assembly of reinforced concrete and steel prefabricated structures, implementation of new works inside the new building structure, including systems and finishes. In other words, they are activities mainly connected with the construction of a large new building, therefore they need numerous building equipment and human resources, which will be used at the same time in a rather large area, but adjacent to a shopping centre regularly open to public.
