A Long History of Regeneration

The project originated from the Programme Agreement signed in 2007 between Genova High Tech (Ght), the Liguria Region, the Municipality of Genoa, and the University of Genoa, and will include the new headquarters of the Faculty of Engineering with all its departments. The project – whose preliminary design was signed by Mario Bellini Architects in 2010 – after several years of accelerations and abrupt halts, resumed at the end of 2017. It is at this moment that DVA, together with DVMEP and Bimfactory from the DVArea group, and other professionals such as Progetto CMR, Zanardi Ingegneria, and the team with Professor Paolo Oliaro, were awarded the assignment from EuroMilano for the preparation of the subsequent project phases: the final design, which is preparatory for obtaining the necessary permits to build, and the working drawings aimed at the tendering and construction site work. The role of DVArea, through multilevel interdisciplinary coordination and the use of BIM methodology, has been crucial in establishing a common reference point for the client and all professionals and entities involved in the new University project. This enabled the successful completion, in a total of 12 months, of both the authorisation process of the final design and the working drawings, as well as the verification and validation activities.
