The new teaching centre at the University of Ferrara, at the Arcispedale Sant’Anna di Cona, has been designed to meet the growing education needs of the university. A total of 5200 square metres given over to study, research, meeting and learning designed by Metroplan Architettura Ingegneria, Techplan and Arca engineering, with contribution from the company Milani who have supplied all the furniture, from tailor-made solutions to standard products.
The Veneto-based brand acted as general contractor, fitting out all the spaces in the teaching centre, the conference hall, study and teaching rooms as well as social areas, with a total of around 1700 workstations. The colourful Shock modular sofas welcome students into the lounge areas while the study rooms feature wood finishes, tables to seat our people and Seed chairs (totalling 400); the offices and meeting rooms feature the Tam work chair.
The project also includes bespoke interventions such as the 482-seat conference hall: from the fabric-covered chairs to the imposing conference lectern along with sound-absorbent panels, curtains and right up to the projectors that were supplied and custom-made by Milani for UNIFE. Tailor-made solutions were also supplied for the workstations in the four teaching rooms (with a total capacity of around 700 students), the wooden structures that overlook the roof garden on the first floor and the partitions and chairs in the laboratory area.
