New sports facilities and urban regeneration
The project involved the construction of two school sports halls in the former Laboratorio Pontieri area in Piacenza. It responds to the shortage of spaces for physical education in the historic centre’s upper secondary schools and contributes to the regeneration of a strategic urban area, making it accessible to the local community.
The proximity to the monumental complex of Palazzo Farnese required careful integration with the historic context.
Functional organisation
The project included the demolition of the existing buildings and the construction of a new complex composed of two adjoining sports halls and a central service block, housing the entrance, changing rooms and ancillary spaces.
Although different in size, the two sports halls share the same playing surface and are equipped for basketball and volleyball. The main hall, with an area of approximately 960 sqm and a capacity of 200 seats, can be divided through mobile systems to allow flexible use of the spaces.
Energy efficiency and building systems
The project integrates energy-efficient solutions, including a rooftop photovoltaic system of approximately 25 kW and an underfloor radiant heating system connected to the district heating network.
Both indoor and outdoor lighting use LED technology to reduce energy consumption and ensure good lighting quality.
