The new lower secondary school in Vaprio d'Adda was designed as a multifunctional cultural centre, open to citizens and capable of hosting various activities. The building is spread over two floors, with the ground floor dedicated to special activities and common spaces, such as the auditorium, library and gym, while the upper floor houses the classrooms and laboratories.

Planning
The auditorium, with a capacity of 160 seats, is equipped with dressing rooms for the artists and ancillary spaces for the storage of sets, transforming it into a real theater space. The gym, sized according to CONI regulations, is accessible both from inside and outside the building, allowing it to be used even outside school hours.
A large central green courtyard provides natural light to all areas of the school, creating a bright and welcoming environment. The school project was developed following the principles of eco-sustainable construction, with the aim of reducing energy consumption and environmental impact. Solutions have been adopted such as the use of eco-compatible materials, the installation of a photovoltaic system for the production of electricity and the adoption of rainwater recovery systems.
The school was also designed to ensure accessibility for all, with the installation of ramps and a lift. Furthermore, particular attention was paid to safety, with the implementation of a video surveillance system, an anti-intrusion system and a fire detection system.
The new secondary school in Vaprio d'Adda therefore represents an example of modern and sustainable architecture, designed to meet the needs of the community and offer functional and safe spaces for education and culture.
