On Monday, 29 May, the wooden school donated by Ikea to Crognaleto (TE), district of Nerito, following the 2016 earthquakes, was officially opened.

The opening ceremony was attended by the Undersecretary to the President of the Council of Ministers, the Hon. Maria Elena Boschi, the Undersecretary to the Minister for Education, University and Research, the Hon. Vito De Filippo, the Mayor, Giuseppe D'Alonzo, the Councillor of the Embassy of Sweden, Cristina Kvist, the President of the Regional Council, Giuseppe Di Pancrazio and the Chief Executive Officer of IKEA Italy, Belén Frau, as well as local residents, teachers and a great many students.

The school was donated entirely by IKEA and the more than 7000 collaborators who asked the company to invest the resources intended for Christmas bonuses to help the populations struck by the earthquake.

The children and teenagers of the Abruzzo municipality were there to cut the ribbon, launching blue and yellow balloons to mark the official opening of the new classrooms, accompanied by the national anthem, sung by the local comprehensive school choir.

IKEA, which chose us to partner them in this project, and the institutions present complimented our company on the site organisation, the architectonic result obtained and the speed of execution of the work, in complete compliance with the agreed terms; indeed, works were completed in approximately 1 month.

The new “Alfredo Quaranta” complex extends for approximately 350 m2 and will house pre-school, first and middle school.

The contemporary style and design of the structure blends with its volumes and shapes in a harmonious manner amidst the surrounding Gran Sasso park.

The building was developed using the “Subissati Platform Frame” construction system with structural use class IV and high energy efficiency (class A4 Energy almost Zero); this is the top energy class currently envisaged by the regulations.
