URBAN REVELATION INTERVENTION FOR THE FORMER REVENUE AGENCY AREA

The Municipality of Desio has entrusted Sertec Engineering Consulting with the project for the redevelopment of the urban area “former revenue agency (formerly former hospital)”. 

The project envisaged a coordinated redevelopment of the entire former hospital complex that could fully meet the objectives of the call for state funding. The project, analyzing the effects of the urban regeneration of the entire area and addressing the problem in its entirety, is configured as a building renovation project with refunctionalisation, plant, energy and structural adaptation of the main building of the «former hospital» and the chapel annex (“Carlo Levi” room), as well as the surrounding open spaces. The municipal library, the historical archive, spaces for cultural and third sector associations, meeting rooms and restaurant areas are established.

The regeneration strategy attributes the role of a “multidimensional hub” to the area, i.e. the fulcrum of the local community where differentiated activities and services for citizens can be progressively integrated: this area is the subject of internal regeneration, aimed at optimizing the local dimension as a priority.
