The project involves the redevelopment of the spaces currently identified as classroom atrium on the first floor

The spaces will be redesigned as study and exam rooms, through the creation of the great "AGORA OF THE STUDENTS". The space is conceived as a large square, a collective and meeting place and, above all, a working space, aimed at satisfying the increasing needs expressed by the students, with dedicated workstations, equipped with the necessary computer and energy plug-ins, where they can study, draw, interact and so on. "Extra - Spaces" where every day a considerable part of the university educational program is completed and implemented.  The main natural light generated will also contribute to the reconfiguration of the new Agora's unified space, through the restoration of the existing obstructed structure of the office partitioning.
In addition to fixed work tables and lockers the " space", will also be equipped with a new lighting and soundproofing system, which will enable the daily occupancy of an average attendance of about 200 people, without affecting the normal course of the lessons of the adjacent classrooms.
