Canolo Primary School featured by the Ministry of Education 

The new “Don Pasquino Borghi” Primary School in Canolo di Correggio, in the province of Reggio Emilia, has been selected for #NoiSiamoLeScuole, the institutional video campaign promoted by the Italian Ministry of Education and Merit and dedicated to projects and stories from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan for Education.

The intervention involved the demolition of the previous structure and the construction of a new building, where timber structures, high-efficiency systems and spaces open to the outdoors define a contemporary model for school architecture.

CAIREPRO was responsible for the structural and building services design, as well as construction supervision and safety coordination during the execution phase. The architectural design was developed by architects Piergiorgio Loconte and Chiara Capriulo.

Cooperative Stories: Voices from CAIREPRO

In this episode of Storie Cooperative, the story enters CAIREPRO’s everyday work through the testimonies of some of its key people.

Their words reveal an understanding of design as a shared process, built on people’s expertise and on careful attention to the places that gradually take shape.

This approach reflects the most authentic meaning of CAIREPRO’s work: designing places capable of improving people’s quality of life.

Project promoted by Legacoop Emilia Ovest, produced by TRMedia and broadcast on Telereggio.
