University hub at the Ex Lazzaretto - Bertalia Area

Project in progress

Lazzaretto

The area intended for the new university hub is located in the North-West suburbs of Bologna, in the Bertalia-Lazzaretto area, not far from downtown Bologna. The project, which is directly overseen by the University of Bologna, is based on the design that won the “Concorso internazionale di progettazione dell’insediamento urbano-universitario nell’area Bertalia-Lazzaretto”, by Piero Sartogo and Richard Meier, with sculptor Arnaldo Pomodoro and landscape designers Richard Reid as consultants. The project comprises the construction of three buildings serving the University of Bologna, a departmental building, a building for classes serving students and a student accommodation building.

Project underway, works amounting to € 41,000,000 (excluding VAT).
