updates about university residences in polimi
In the latest meetings of the Academic Senate and of the Commissione Infrastrutture (Infrastructure Board)that we attended, it has long been discussed about university residences.
We always have reported a lack of funds from the boards for university buildings and moreover for university residences. Consider that in France the number of beds per student is 6 times more, in Spain it's 50% more. In Milan, a city with more than 200 thousands students, there's a lack of about 16 thousands beds in dorms, with respect to the only 4 thousands of today.
PNRR and BANDO 338: €128 MILIONS FOR NEW UNIVERSITY RESIDENCES
PNRR (European Funds) increased the university buildings funds with the so-called Bando 338that our University is trying to use carefully.
These funds will allow PoliMi to start a new plan for University Residences using about €128 milions of euros.The concerned plans are the following:
which are added to 2 other dorms already under construction
New dorms in Bovisa
It will be made of two different buildings (a loophole to obtain the largest amount of funds, since the maximum beds per building is of 250 and each of those is goint to have about 240 beds).
It will be in 2A area of Bovisa - La Gocciawhich is now occupied by abandoned factories and it is going to cost about €50 milions.
Construction work will start when PoliMi will buy the area, up to now is owned by the City of Milan.

new Mancinelli dorms
Also in this situation we will have two different buildings, each of those with 250 beds. Each building will be made of 8 floors and it will have also different facilities, like a gym and a music room (among with study rooms as well).
It will be built where the Chemistry Department is at the moment, that will be demolished. Therefore there has been the opportunity to convert that area in modern dorms, close to campus Leonardo .
Construction work will start after the demolition of the Chemistry building.

Casa dello Studente renovation
As many of you reported, Casa dello Studente building conditions weren't the best, some renovation was needed of the whole building and moreover of the rooms.
This clearly means that for the whole next year it will be closed, but thanks to our requests it has been guaranteed for the DSU beds and for students with disabilities (respectively 66 + 12), another place, to be defined soon.
Renovation works will start this summer and it will be ready (we hope) for the academic year 2023/2025, with 41 more beds!
