The project concerns the former INPS building at 55 Via Igino Giordani in the Verderocca area of Rome, Italy. The site is also associated with the Colli Aniene neighbourhood and is listed in the article under Rome’s former Municipality V, now Municipality IV.2 The building is being converted into student accommodation, with 210 beds planned.2
Work was underway by 2 December 2024, when the article reported that workers had entered the building and that a municipal police patrol had checked the site after their presence was mistaken by a resident for a break-in or occupation.2 At that time, the building was alarmed and had no electricity or water services.2
The first stage is a strip-out, or selective demolition: inspection and analysis of building materials to identify potentially hazardous substances and ensure they are handled and disposed of appropriately.2 Notices posted at the site described a subsequent phase of interior refurbishment connected to the change of use.2 The article gave February 2025 as the expected completion date and estimated the intervention’s cost at approximately €6 million.2
The source does not identify the project’s developer, the people leading it, or a founding date. It describes the planned works and intended use, but does not provide information on student eligibility, management, or operating arrangements.2
