Facchini Theater and AVIS center, Medolla, 2012

The Facchini Theater of Meldola was the beating heart of the town. It was shut down on the 29th of May 2012, after being devastated by an earthquake that struck the whole area. This project consist of the restoration of the theatre dressing rooms adjacent to the stage, as well as the reconstruction of the headquarters of AVIS (an Italian Blood Donor Association), located in the same building. The new Avis facility is now on two floors, the first one being used for blood sampling, while on the second can be found the Association Archive and a meeting room. An important structural intervention was carried out, with the aim to achieve a seismic improvement and to make structure in conformity with currently normative. Thanks to such intervention the Avis facility was back up and running within 16 months from the earthquake. The project was completed in one year, financed with resources originally budgeted for purchasing Christmas Presents for Del Conca Group employees.
