Brescia has officially expanded its student housing capacity with the opening of Camplus Lamarmora, a sustainable, timber-constructed residence located at the former Magazzini Generali site. The project, which provides 252 beds for university students, represents a 20-million-euro investment.
The facility was developed through a partnership between Investire SGR and CDP Real Asset. Construction of the complex was completed in ten months, utilizing timber building techniques. The opening marks a step in increasing the availability of student housing in Brescia.
Development and Urban Integration
The Camplus Lamarmora student residence is situated at the former Magazzini Generali industrial site. According to official project disclosures, the development emphasizes environmental sustainability through the use of wood, which served to accelerate the construction timeline (Il Sole 24 Ore).
The 20-million-euro investment was facilitated by Investire SGR and CDP Real Asset. By repurposing the Magazzini Generali site, the project converts industrial space into a living area.
Addressing the Housing Supply Challenge
The addition of 252 beds provides a solution to the accommodation needs of students. The Camplus model is designed to offer a place to stay for residents.
The involvement of entities like Investire SGR highlights the direction of institutional capital toward this project (Milano Finanza).
What This Means for Students
For students, the opening of the Lamarmora campus offers a modern alternative to the private rental market. The facility’s focus on sustainability is reflective of the project’s design.
The project is part of developments intended to bolster Brescia’s capacity for higher education. Further updates regarding application procedures and residence policies for the new academic year are expected to be published through the official Camplus digital portal.
