The new campus will contribute to the urban regeneration of Scalo Farini
UniCredit is delighted to announce Herzog & de Meuron, one of the most prestigious and recognized architecture practices in the world, will design its new headquarters in Milan.
The headquarters designed by world-renowned architects will be in the Scalo Farini area, which will include, in addition to the bank's new offices, green spaces, offices, residences, social housing, and new services for the entire city.
The new UniCredit campus will promote a virtuous and sustainable model of social integration, contributing to Scalo Farini's urban regeneration - one of the most important initiatives of its kind in Europe.
The design of the headquarters will embody UniCredit's values of innovation and sustainability, contributing to the rebirth of Scalo Farini and serving as a monument to the progress of the city, Milan, and Italy at large. Through the campus, UniCredit intends to promote the future development of local communities and guarantee a new sustainable and modern workplace for its employees.
Founded in Basel in 1978, international architecture practice Herzog de Meuron has a firm track record of architectural excellence including such iconic works as the National Stadium in Beijing, the Tate Modern in London and the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg.
For the new headquarters, the practice proposes an integrated design vision combining architectural precision and rigor, with innovative experimentation and reverence for the physical context of Scalo Farini.
The development of the headquarters will take place simultaneously with the regeneration of the area of Scalo Farini, in step with international urban transformation trends and inspired by the most up-to-date principles of environmental sustainability. UniCredit has started the administrative process to approve the plan for the new headquarters.
Andrea Orcel, UniCredit Group CEO, said: "We are proud to collaborate with Herzog & de Meuron on the new UniCredit headquarters. As a bank driven by a fundamental purpose, to empower communities to progress, we are delighted that we have the opportunity to contribute to the regeneration of Scalo Farini in Milan. Employees of our new campus will enjoy working in a unique, sustainable, and welcoming campus with modern facilities and solutions. Our investment in Scalo Farini represents more than the opportunity to give back to our community, it is also the ability for us to invest in Italy and to put into tangible action our commitment to invest socially and the responsibility we have environmentally as we work to regenerate this area for our own people and beyond".
Jacques Herzog, founder of Herzog & de Meuron, said: "The UniCredit headquarters gives us the opportunity to continue our work in Milan, a city where we have been able to establish a meaningful architectural presence. It is of course also especially exciting for us to work for one of the greatest global banking institutions in Europe. The building will be an exploration in both ecological and social sustainability - a rejection of a closed, hermetic office tower towards an organic shape which allows the interiors and workspaces to be surrounded by gardens and trees, creating high quality working conditions throughout the building".
