Broadoak Director Laura Sykes has attended the 1st General Assembly of the EU funded WILSON Project in Milan.  On the second day there was a site visit to Ex – Caserma Papa in Brescia, hosted by the Agenzia del Demanio, (the Italian State Property Agency), one of the other Project Wilson pilot partners.

The site will see a major redevelopment of a former Italian army barracks in Brescia.  It is being rebuilt as a state administration hub and completion is expected by 2028.    This will provide new offices for the Guardia di Finanza, the Civil Motorization and the Customs and Monopolies Agency: an operation that should save the state coffers around €1.4 million per year.  This project is one of the Project Wilson Pilot sites, alongside Newcastle Helix, which is the UK Pilot site that Broadoak are hosting in conjunction with Newcastle University for the 4 year long project.

Laura said “ the General Assembly provided a valuable opportunity for all partners to meet face to face, share updates and set goals for the upcoming phases of the project”
