The works will be financed by the sale of the former Bank of Italy building in via Piave. The goal is to reduce the number of buildings that now house employees from three to two
IVREA. The Town Hall, the registry office in via Piave and the technical office in via Cardinal Fietta. There are too many buildings that house the municipal offices, three, which become four if we add the library, with energy costs that are no longer sustainable. The redevelopment project of the building in Via Cardinal Fietta starts from this reasoning. An initial feasibility project envisages interventions for 1.3 million euros: energy requalification works and radical reorganization of the spaces.
The operation will be financed thanks to the sale of the former Bank of Italy, where today the registry office and the electoral office are housed, the building owned by the municipality that is most tempting to the private market. On the building that currently houses the technical office, in 2020 all the windows and doors have already been replaced with the 130 thousand euros received from Mise (Ministry of Economic Development).
“Having offices spread over three buildings for 152 employees is expensive and not very functional – explains the councilor for the budget and the patrimony Elisabetta Piccoli -. These are buildings with old-fashioned facilities that require continuous maintenance and adaptation interventions. Premises with poor energy efficiency and high management costs. For us, it is now a priority to optimize spaces, guaranteeing both adequate comfort for those who work there and lower management costs, as well as a better organization of the interconnected offices with the aim of allowing users greater ease of access to the offices and less inconvenience. , drastically reducing travel times between buildings ».
A first design hypothesis envisages the transfer of the municipal police (now in the Town Hall) and the accounting offices (today in via Piave) to the offices in via Cardinal Fietta. Among the hypotheses being examined by the Municipality is that of selling the former Bank of Italy to the same company which will then carry out the redevelopment works of the building in Via Cardinal Fietta. Or rather, the building in via Piave would be transferred of ownership only once the works have been completed. This would greatly shorten the execution times of the redevelopment interventions and would allow the Municipality not to take out a mortgage.
In the three-year plan (2021-23) of the disposals there is not only the former Bank of Italy (whose estimated value is € 1,322,500 million), but also the former Jervis institute in via San Nazario ( 540 thousand euros), the former chamber of commerce in via Jervis with 4 garages (235 thousand), the house known as the former market keeper, in via Donatori di sanguine (165 thousand) and the telephone antenna area of corso Nigra (180 thousand). These are properties that are no longer functional for institutional purposes, but which currently only represent a cost due to the necessary maintenance. To kick off the sale of the former Bank of Italy, the municipal council will, however, have to change the classification of the building from unavailable building to available, resulting in a cadastral change. –
