Mayor Andrea Orlandi: “For years we haven’t seen any major investments here”
It began with these words spoken by the mayor Andrea Orlandi the presentation evening, held on Wednesday evening in the oratory hall, of the projects linked to the Pnrr which will affect the Rhodes hamlet.
«Terrazzano is a beautiful community, with a solid identity – said the mayor – For years no major investments have been seen here, now one of the projects of Rho the city that changes represents a significant innovation and concerns your hamlet precisely» .
Mayor Orlandi recalled the request of the Senior Center to be able to maintain its headquarters:
«We requested to be able to keep part of the old school destined for demolition. We expected a response within this public meeting, but unfortunately it did not arrive. We have no dogmas, we try to find the best path together with you in a context, that of the Pnrr, characterized by considerable rigidity in terms of rules”.
Councilor Brognoli: “We thought of an improvement, more modern spaces and also a gym”
After the mayor’s words, the councilor for public works Emiliana Brognoli which went into detail about the project.
«The Sante Zennaro school is strongly anchored to the territory – explained the councilor for Public Works buildings Emiliana Brognoli, recalling the commitment of the director Annapaola Menotti and the engineer Daniele Forcillo. We thought about an improvement, since the current location lacks a gym and modern teaching spaces. We moved in a competitive context: in 2020-2021, 550 projects were candidates throughout Italy, this is among the 15 schools financed throughout Lombardy. The basic idea is the result of a comparison between pedagogists, experts and architects who have defined the school of the future, I’m talking about Stefano Boeri, Cino Zucchi, Renzo Piano. It was a rebirth bet in the middle of the pandemic, now the change must be made operational.”
The school will have two entrances: from via Dalmazia, as today, and from via Don Bianchi
«A school has a lifespan of 50-60 years. The current building dates back to 1964 and was expanded in the 1980s. Today it has lacks of organization and the need for a gym. The project will develop in the municipal area adjacent to the existing school: first the old headquarters will be built and then demolished, avoiding inconveniences due to transfers. I thank the manager and the teaching staff for the discussion and suggestions: the classrooms for the most vulnerable are the result of a discussion started with them”.
The school will have two entrances: from Via Dalmazia, as today, from Via Don Bianchi, which allows traffic flows to be divided. Interventions are planned on the Don Bianchi, Monviso and Friuli streets.
