Saronno Polo
Urban redesign around one of the main network’s hubs
It is a project with a strong urban impact in the city of Saronno, around one of the main network’s crossroads. It involves the reorganization of the technological and maintenance infrastructure of the Saronno Centro hub, in order to achieve high operating and safety standards and improve both accessibility and viability.
The railway station, as well as some neighboring areas, will witness the renovation of the Fabbricato Viaggiator, by removing the remaining structures that house offices that will be relocated within the groundbreaking Hub, restyling the railway station’s central underpass and implementing elevators, which will also serve the Fabbricato Viaggiatori
Finally, the project includes the creation of bicycle and pedestrian paths and the overall redevelopment of the station entrances adjacent areas, with some works performed on external surfaces.
The new railway hub will also host the Museo delle Industrie e del Lavoro Saronnese (Museum of Industries and Labour of Saronno), a historically important testimony of the manufactures and the industriousness of the city and the territory.
