Buniva Institute in Pinerolo - work on regulatory compliance

School building security and structural rehabilitation plan (Mission 4 – Component 1 - Investment 3.3)

Italy’s Recovery and Resilience Plan contributes to climate recovery also by enhancing school buildings’ safety and energy consumption.

In particular, this measure aims to contribute to the improvement of energy classes and leading to lower consumption and CO2 emissions as well as to increase structural safety of buildings.

Particular attention is paid to the most disadvantaged areas with the aim of tackling and eliminating economic and social imbalances.

The investment is financed by Italy’s Recovery and Resilience plan by EUR 4.4 billion.

The project is part of this investment.

The 'M. Buniva' school complex stands on a lot with access from Via dei Rochis in the school district of Pinerolo, an important municipality in the western part of the Province of Turin.

It was built in several phases, the first at the end of the 1960s, and consists of a building for classrooms on four floors, one of which is basement level and three above ground, two twin gyms with playgrounds and changing rooms with services on the mezzanine floors, a main hall, offices and laboratories.

The complex is divided into three functional bodies: body A of the classrooms and offices, body B of the gyms and changing rooms, and body C of the two connecting wings.

In the 1980s, body A of the classrooms was raised by one floor, obtaining a number of classrooms and constructing the partitions to brace the internal stairs and the heads, for seismic adaptation.

Today, the aim of the project is to adapt the complex to the latest regulations, such as the Technical Standards for Construction of 2018, through building renovations on the load-bearing structure, the envelope and the internal distribution.

The areas of intervention on the building are: seismic retrofitting; energy retrofitting; fire retrofitting; hygienic-sanitary retrofitting; acoustic retrofitting; electrical installations.
