Regeneration of the southern section of the "Ex laboratorio Pontieri" of Piacenza in an innovative space for secondary training of first degree

Investments in projects of urban regeneration, aimed at reducing situations of marginalization and social degradation (Mission 5 – Component 2, Investment 4)

Italy’s Recovery and Resilience Plan provides for investments in urban regeneration, to reduce marginalization and social degradation as well as to improve the social and environmental context of urban centres.

The measure aims at supporting the reuse and re-functionalization of public areas and existing public building structures for purposes of public interest, and at improving the urban landscape through renovation of public buildings, with particular attention to the development of social, cultural, educational and didactic services, including sporting activities.

The investment is financed by Italy’s Recovery and Resilience plan by EUR 2 billion.

The project of regeneration of the southern section of the "former Pontieri laboratory" of Piacenza in an innovative space for second-level training is part of this investment.

The project aims to re-functionalise two disused blocks of the former Pontieri Laboratory (in continuity with the still active military complex of the Pontieri Engineers), covering an area of approximately 2,500 square metres, transforming them into an advanced school facility dedicated to secondary education with 3 sections.

The NRRP funds allocated to this project amount to EUR 5.5 million.
