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.
