New regional Tech Centre at the University of Parma
Tech centre for advanced industrial university research
Tech centre for advanced industrial university research
The new tech centre of the University of Parma is a strategic structure that is part of the agreement between the Emilia Romagna regional authorities and the University of Parma for the consolidation of the regional network for advanced technology.
The design phase was multidisciplinary and integrated with the research groups to host in the building with the precise aim of guaranteeing maximum flexibility with a high standard of efficiency, comfort and quality.
The result is a dynamic, flexible structure that can follow and encourage the evolution at the base of the research procedure, to extend in time in different directions according to the needs that may arise in the future and to allow, simply and effectively, to modify the distributive, furnishing, technological and internal system configurations with great ease.
This approach, which has now become unavoidable for a correct design, has generated from the point of view of urban choices, a rational and extremely functional organism, in line with the set-up of the campus. It also leaves extended possibilities for future development.
The distributive set-up rationalises entrances and pathways, services and common spaces, internal courtyards and technical rooms. The latter are concentrated on the roofs, which are where the solar panels are. The plan has three wings, with luminous glass facades and allows the labs and the researchers’ offices to be immersed in nature. The furnishings, the enhancement of the exterior, the tracks for testing self-driving vehicles and the lay-out of the park areas complete the set-up of the project.
At the moment only the main entrance and the main wing have been created.
