Situated on an industrial works site roughly 5 km from the centre of Verona, this day nursery has the difficult task of providing a homelike environment for the children of some 1,500 employees of a pharmaceutical concern. In view of the nearby production plant, the architects decided in favour of an introverted building that occupies almost the entire area of the site, with a large open play space in the middle. The actual nursery school occupies only the northern part of the development. On the south and east sides, the structure consists of a sheltered realm, comprising no more than a facade and roof.
