What the campus holds

The masterplan calls it the Main Plaza and defines it as the principal social space: greenery, trees, seating, water, shade, pedestrian links, a bar and room for events. It has to work on a day when nothing is scheduled.

The masterplan spreads the offices across separate buildings that feed into the Main Hub. That is the configuration that avoids the “single palazzo” effect and lets the existing building stock be recovered a piece at a time.

The Main Hub's auditorium, which the masterplan says is to be sized against demand. No document states how many seats.

The masterplan lists a gym and wellness among the Main Hub's functions, but makes them explicitly conditional on being economically sustainable. It stays a conditional hypothesis, not a commitment.

• Calisthenics — An equipped outdoor area.
• Pool — An indoor pool for open swimming.
• Martial arts — A room with tatami.
• Climbing — An indoor wall.

An outdoor sports ground on the edge of the campus. The masterplan asks for proximity to sport; it does not call for a pitch. This is an objective the project has set itself.

Walking routes linking the campus to the landscape around it. No document describes them: they are an objective the project has set itself.

The masterplan lists “ristorante e mensa” among the Main Hub's functions. How it is run, how large it is and when it opens are set out nowhere.

The masterplan names the bar twice: among the Main Hub's functions, and among the things the plaza has to hold. Here it is drawn as a place of its own, which is a choice of representation.

“Reception and services” is one of the nine functions the masterplan lists for the Main Hub. The document names it and stops there: what it covers, at what hours and with what staff is defined nowhere.

“Lounge and informal areas”, also among the Main Hub's functions. The masterplan keeps them separate from the coworking: this is the space that is neither a desk nor a meeting room, and the project treats it as infrastructure rather than as what is left over.

The masterplan places housing within a reasonable walking radius of the campus, and this unit sits inside that radius like every other. Its size and the number of apartments are still open.

The model combines recovery of existing buildings, affordable rent and new units only where they are needed. Which of the three applies to this unit has not been decided.

One of the housing units the model foresees. The masterplan does not say how many there are or where they sit: both depend on which buildings can actually be recovered.

Housing for the people who work in the campus. The masterplan asks for proximity between homes, childcare, school, sport and green space: family logistics are meant to become an advantage.

The masterplan assesses the buildings as a single energy system — photovoltaics, storage, heat pumps, load management and monitoring. Housing is part of that assessment too.

In this diagram it is the unit furthest from the campus, and it still sits inside the walking radius the masterplan sets as a condition for housing.
