Bella Milano

The indoor swim­ming pool is the heart of this sustainable sports centre in the middle of Univer­sità Bocconi.

The full area of the new campus is appro­xi­m­ately 35,000m², but almost half of that space is open and green and welco­ming. The 18,000m² of new campus buil­dings include a 300-room student resi­dence, the new head­quar­ters of the SDA Bocconi School of Manage­ment, and the new multi-level athletic centre. The new centre includes fitness spaces, two basket­ball and volley­ball gymna­siums and an elevated running track.

The gorgeous, well-equipped pool meets all FINA compe­ti­tion stan­dards and is ideal for trai­ning and compe­ti­tion.

The two-piece bulk­head makes it simple to confi­gure the pool for multiple uses. The gorgeous, well-equipped pool meets all FINA compe­ti­tion stan­dards and is ideal for trai­ning and compe­ti­tion in swim­ming, water polo, and artistic swim­ming.

In addi­tion to all the tech­nical refi­ne­ments, the swim­ming hall is a real eye-catcher.

The Olympic Pool, measu­ring in at 51.5 m (50 m, plus the width of the bulk­head), is equipped with state-of-the-art tech­no­lo­gies inclu­ding an advanced lighting system and the Ange­lEye under­water drow­ning detec­tion system.

Addi­tio­nally, two lanes in the compe­ti­tion pool have been equipped with the Virtual Trainer, an intel­li­gent LED system that allows swim­mers to follow precisely programmed trai­ning speeds set by their coaches.

The Bocconi Sport Center already is the object of admi­ra­tion at the Univer­sità Bocconi. All over Europe.

The new Bocconi campus was created with commit­ment to sustaina­bi­lity. Myrtha’s modular stain­less-steel pool system reduces CO₂ emis­sions by up to 50% compared to a tradi­tional concrete tank. And Myrtha’s many envi­ron­mental advan­tages are evidenced by contri­bu­tions to inter­na­tional sustaina­bi­lity and energy effi­ci­ency certi­fi­ca­tions like LEED, BREEAM and Green Star.

In the case of the Bocconi campus, the Myrtha Rese­arch & Deve­lo­p­ment team went to work on a plan to reduce water consump­tion in the new faci­lity. An algo­rithm was deve­loped that analyses water quality data as well as the number of accesses (or, swim­mers), and can pro-actively reduce water consump­tion while main­tai­ning optimal water quality.
