The project involved the complete renovation of an existing building for artisanal use, including the civil and plant engineering, to accommodate the Research and Development and analytical activities of NEWCHEM S.P.A.

The project transformed old warehouses into modern laboratories by modernizing the building envelope and building a metal mezzanine to house all the systems, including air conditioning, needed for the specialized activities to be located there.

The project’s objectives were:

• the complete redevelopment of the building, in compliance with company guidelines, industry regulations, and defined functional and performance requirements;
• a general functional study for the use of the entire building for offices, laboratories for advanced research and development technologies, technical rooms, and support areas, assessing possible expansions and defining a possible homogeneous development phase;
• the definition of the hosted functions and internal layouts, verifying the flows of personnel and materials in relation to specific operating methods and with respect to proximity, internal mobility, and general safety parameters based on the previous analysis;
  the definition of the overall image of the building and the general area aimed at representing and conveying values ​​of modernity and excellence;
• the definition of the construction systems and the resulting technical level of intervention (civil and plant) based on standards for reducing energy consumption and the use of alternative technologies and/or renewable sources.
