LEARNING CENTER GE OIL&GAS | FLORENCE

INDUSTRIAL

The Florence Learning Center of Nuovo Pignone – General Electric oil & gas in Florence is the largest and most important center in Europe owned by the US company. Over the years, the building has undergone several renovations and additions to make it increasingly more functional according to business needs. The interventions carried out by the studio of Massimo Pierattelli, from 2006 to 2009, have always aimed to combine architectural quality with the essential functionality of spaces and a high level of technology.

The construction, in 2009, of the new Auditorium with 204 seats also involved the reorganization of the entire ground floor of the Learning Center around the new space, suitable to host conferences, congresses and summits of the company’s top management. The flooring of the hall, the false ceilings and wall coverings are made of wood to create a cosy environment with a harmonious and exclusive atmosphere. For this purpose, great importance was also given to lighting, which meets different needs depending on the type of event hosted inside.
