The Collegio Einaudi Training in line with
the SGDs of the 2030 Agenda
Our training offers a wide range of personalized learning experiences, complementary to those of university courses and designed to support students, so that they mature into men and women eager and able to contribute to the social, economic and cultural growth and improvement of society.
There are many activities and courses offered which aim to deepen and raise awareness among our students on the themes of the 2030 Agenda.
An environmentally sustainable Collegio
As part of the building redevelopment project involving the five Residence Halls of Collegio Einaudi, attention to environmental sustainability has gradually taken on a central role, consistently guiding all phases of the interventions.
Crocetta residence hall
The redevelopment of Crocetta Residence Hall, carried out in 2000/2001, did not initially include specific measures related to environmental sustainability.
In 2026, the Residence Hall underwent a major energy efficiency upgrade, including the transition to a district heating system, in line with the latest policies aimed at reducing emissions and optimizing energy consumption.
San Paolo residence hall
The modernization works carried out at San Paolo Residence Hall in 2004/2005 marked a first step towards the integration of sustainable solutions, with the installation of a solar thermal system on the roof for the production of domestic hot water. The preliminary design of the system was developed as part of a Master’s degree thesis in Energy Engineering by a Collegio student.
Valentino residence hall
With the renovation of Valentino Residence Hall, attention to environmental sustainability increased significantly through the installation of two solar thermal systems, one photovoltaic system, a greywater recycling system, and the widespread adoption of LED lighting, resulting in approximately 60% savings in lighting-related energy consumption.
Following the latest partial renovation, completed in 2026, new accommodation places were also created while maintaining a strong focus on consumption optimization, improved accessibility, and the implementation of solutions with greater environmental integration.
The redevelopment of Po Residence Hall, carried out during the 2013/2014 academic year, transformed the building into an example of a cutting-edge university residence, particularly in terms of sustainability and CO₂ emissions reduction.
The intervention included the installation of solar thermal and photovoltaic systems, the construction of a geothermal plant using groundwater to supply the heating system, and the installation of an external thermal insulation system across the entire building.
These solutions enabled the Residence Hall to achieve LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold certification and Energy Class A according to the standards established by the Piedmont Region.
Mole Antonelliana residence hall
The redevelopment of Mole Antonelliana Residence Hall, completed in 2023, was carried out in continuity with the environmental sustainability standards adopted for Po Residence Hall, integrating advanced solutions both in terms of building systems and service management.
The project included the widespread adoption of LED lighting, greywater and rainwater recovery systems, and the implementation of separate waste collection facilities, as well as the creation of spaces dedicated to sustainable mobility, such as a bicycle storage area.
From a technological and management perspective, the Residence Hall is equipped with fibre-optic connectivity and Wi-Fi coverage, a Building Management System (BMS) for monitoring and optimizing energy consumption, cloud-based systems for service management, and integrated security systems. Particular attention was also devoted to the removal of architectural barriers in order to improve the overall accessibility of the facility.
