The project for the new elementary school in the San Biagio neighborhood of Osimo represents a significant example of contemporary architecture, integrated with the surrounding environmental and social context. The construction of this school, which took place between 2008 and 2015, required careful planning and design, taking into account the unique characteristics of the site and modern educational needs.

The site chosen for the school is rectangular in shape, bounded by two roads and featuring a significant slope that varies by approximately 17 meters from west to east. This steepness posed a design challenge, as the construction of a school building generally requires a flat area. To address this challenge, the project involved excavation and fill, keeping the heights below 2.5 meters, and retaining structures to ensure the stability of the ground.
The school's architectural design was conceived to create a stimulating and functional educational environment. The interior spaces were organized to foster student interaction and facilitate learning activities. Classrooms were designed to ensure good natural lighting and adequate ventilation, essential elements for student well-being. Particular attention was paid to the internal pedestrian flow, featuring pathways and squares that encourage socialization and physical activity.
A distinctive aspect of the project is the building's integration with the surrounding landscape. The sports facility's roof, which seamlessly connects with the rest of the facility, offers a unique perspective for visitors approaching from Ancona. The project adopted innovative and sustainable techniques, representing a first step towards an ecological and energy-efficient approach. In short, the new elementary school is not just a school building, but a model of energy efficiency, reflecting the school's commitment to education and environmental sustainability.
