THE VISION
 WAY FINDING SYSTEM

In our opinion a stong action, which can be realized easily and which would have an immediate positive feedback is the definition of a new way finding system. A simple
improvement on the circulation would have as a consequence an enahencement of the quality of all the spaces.
This could be the first step of a sequence of actions following a chronoprogram that along the year would leed to a great improvement of the life of the users of the
building. This management could be efficently ruled by a BIM software to be able to control all the variables and allow a coherent and organic itervention program.

 SYSTEM OF THE OPEN SPACES AND ENTRANCES

The new circulation proposals conceives two main entrances: one for daily use and one to let students accede to the 24/7 open facilities, as the library.
The open spaces are considered as a strong potential which can be enhanced and work as a system. In fact, even if in winter the open spaces are not
so much used by the students, during the hot season they became foundamental comfort areas.

PHASES

Devide the interventions into two phases:

1. LESS TIME AND MONEY REQUIERING INTERVENTIONS

2. LONGER AND MORE EXPENCIVE INTERVENTIONS

The first phase can take place immediately and give from the very beginning a relevant contribution in how users can experience the campus.
