The project concerns the recovery / renovation of the former Galateo building to be used as a social housing residence able to offer housing to families, students and the elderly through a housing refurbishment and the creation of multifunctional spaces with aggregative functions for commercial, sports, recreational and cultural. In the north wing of the complex, on the upper floors, there is a student residence for 20 students that Adisu has undertaken to manage, with a view to experimenting with new forms of management within the framework of a renewed relationship between the university system and the city that sees the students fully integrated into the city community.

The student residence provides a succession of accommodation and sharing spaces that favor the exchange and overlapping of skills and knowledge. The distribution spaces are designed to ensure integration and mutual support. On the first floor there are 4 three-room apartments of approximately 74 square meters, two towards the east side and two towards the west side. On this floor the apartments overlook a common area for the entire student residence, a study and meeting wing. The floor accommodates 12 students in total 4 in a double room and 4 in a single room, with a bathroom for every 3 students, as well as for the kitchen and the laundry room. On the second floor, instead, there are 8 studios of 25 to 20 square meters each, with a shared kitchen and laundry in the central space to the north. The studios are equipped with one bathroom per apartment.
