Conference Hall and Ceremonial Hall

Renovation and functional upgrade

The project is part of an NRRP-funded programme dedicated to the training of staff from the Parma University Hospital and the Parma Local Health Authority.

The project involved the renovation and interior fit-out of the Ceremonial Hall and Conference Hall, with the aim of restoring full functionality to spaces intended for teaching and training activities.

The works included the renewal of mechanical, electrical, special systems and audiovisual installations, bringing the spaces in line with the required regulatory and performance standards.

Conservation and design integration

The project addressed the balance between conservation and innovation within spaces distinguished by architectural quality and high-value finishes.

Design choices were guided by the need to preserve and enhance the original materials and architectural elements, while introducing the required upgrades in a discreet and reversible way.

Spatial and functional improvements were carried out, including new sanitary facilities, air renewal systems and advanced technological equipment, in compliance with current regulations, including fire safety requirements for public assembly venues.

The non-fixed, easily removable seating allows the rooms to be used with greater flexibility.

Integrated design and BIM methodology

The project was developed through an integrated approach involving architectural, MEP and fire safety design.
BIM methodology was used to ensure coordination, control and consistency across the different design components.
