Milano is a crossroads of international culture, management, design and architecture. Today, this identity is strengthened by SDA Bocconi School of Management’s Campus, with its innovative urban space, a meeting point for excellence in research, education and architecture.
A tower, four buildings, a sports center and a big park have been designed by Sanaa’s Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, and built on a 50-thousand-square-meter area. They feature harmony of curves, wide glass surfaces and high-tech infrastructures.
The Campus is Near Zero Energy, a very best example of environmental sustainability. All the buildings are designed to enhance ideal sun lighting and natural ventilation, so as to minimize the use of artificial light and reduce energy consumption. Rainwater is also collected and reused.
The Campus covers over 35-thousand-squaremeters indoor, with 39 wide automated classrooms, two big halls (one seating 300, the other 150), offices and common areas whose safety and efficiency standards few other institutions in Italy and Europe can match.
Thanks to its large spaces and innovative technology infrastructure, the Campus guarantees maximum safety and protection, enabling the School to provide the ideal learning environment for both online and on-campus participants.
The headquarters of SDA Bocconi School of Management has achieved a substantial sustainability target, demonstrating our commitment to promoting sustainable development. The Campus, which consists of three buildings including a sports center and a residence hall, has been certified “Platinum” by ICMQ (Istituto di Certificazione e Marchio Qualità, Certification and Quality Branding Institute). “Platinum” is the highest rating of the LEED certificate (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), the most widely used rating system for ecological buildings worldwide, and a mark of excellence for sustainable architecture.
This success is the result of teamwork between Bocconi, the designers and the various suppliers, coordinated by the ICMQ team. They organized all the various design phases to ensure high levels of indoor comfort and energy performance.
This results in savings and reduced consumption of which we are very proud:
74% total energy consumption per year, thanks to the solar power plant installed on campus and covering 19% of annual costs.
42% total indoor water consumption per year, thanks to low-flow equipment (taps, showers, sanitary equipment).
97% recycling of building waste, by carefully organizing processing, collection, and storage of waste materials.
32% of building materials from recycling, through a methodical selection and verification by LEED consultants, thus reducing the impacts resulting from the extraction and processing of raw materials.
47% regionally sourced building materials, mined and processed within a limited distance from the site so to use local resources and reduce impact on the environment from transportation.
SDA Bocconi’s campus buildings are in the center of Milano. In addition to being the business and financial capital of Italy, Milano is also ideally located in the heart of Europe. Thanks to this strategic position, SDA Bocconi has been able to build a large network of international contacts and benefits from the city being a world-renowned center for culture, fashion and design.
