Embracing all facets of sustainability—environment, resource management, and material use— Corso Italia 23 Campus by Skidmore Owings & Merril is targeting and WELL Gold Building Standards upon completion in 2023.

Working alongside Allianz who are developers for the project, SOM's vision pays homage to the original design and reinstates Ponti's aspiration to create a sense of connectivity with the city and within the buildings while establishing a new identity for the campus.

“In reimagining Corso Italia 23, we were asked to elevate a modern Italian classic and demonstrate a new approach to breathing new life into historic buildings for contemporary uses. We've redeveloped the existing campus and capitalized on its new connection to Milan's expanding Metro, with the ambition to significantly reduce the carbon footprint across the campus,” said Kent Jackson, SOM Design Partner. “The design complements Deloitte's mission to prioritize the wellbeing of its people, making it an ideal new home for their team in Milan.”

Clad in glass and stone, the reimagined design takes an “inside-out” approach, preserving significant elements of the original facade while creating greater connectivity within the campus and the wider neighbourhood.
