BOLZANO. Work on the new school complex is about to begin on the area currently designated as public greenery between Via Bari and Via Alessandria, in Bolzano. The opening date of the construction site is set for Thursday 9 January.
The works will last two and a half years and the start of educational activities is scheduled for September 2027. The cost of the work will be almost 22.5 million euros and the contract was awarded to a group of companies consisting of Unionbau Spa, Pichler Projects Srl, Elpo Srl, Schmidhammer Srl, Askeen Srl
“The new multilingual school in via Bari – says the deputy mayor and councilor for public works Stephan Konder – represents one of the main public works that will see the light in the coming years. The start of the works comes at the end of a particularly long and complex process, but soon the Don Bosco neighborhood will be able to boast of an innovative school complex of great aesthetic and above all functional value”.
The complex, Konder lists, will include “elementary and middle school, Italian and Germana large canteen on the top floor, large and bright windows, lots of greenery around; also one gym open to sports clubs during extracurricular hours and on weekends andgreat hall-theatre also available to city associations”. The works for the new school building (two floors above ground and a large terrace in CasaClima A) are largely financed by the Province. Overall they will be carried out sixteen classes: 10 from primary school and 6 from lower secondary school equally distributed between Italians and Germans, on the model of what has been achieved in the new “Alex Langer” school at Firmian.
