F50 armchairs and Q3000 study benches enhance the historic setting, blending delicately into the magnificent Auditorium and the light-filled classrooms. From a former boarding house – erected in the early decades of the 20th century by Cardinal Ferrari – to a modern educational and administrative hub for the Università degli Studi di Milano: Palazzo Mercalli, significant example of late Liberty style, has been reborn following a meticulous restoration and refurbishment project led by the renowned Politecnica Building for Humans studio, in collaboration with the equally esteemed Studio Valle Progettazioni.
