The State Telephone Exchange
Since 2005, the headquarters of the Department of Management have been located in the State Telephone Exchange Building, designed by the famous architect Enzo Zacchiroli and built between 1968 and 1974.
In Bologna the teaching staff and researchers working at DiSA carry out their research and institutional activities, supported by technical and administrative staff.
The headquarters in Via Capo di Lucca cover four floors. On the first floor an open space area is used by students on PhD programmes, while 2 seminar rooms are used for PhD lessons and other seminars run at the Department. There are also 4 professors' offices on the first floor. On the second floor, there are another 12 professors' offices. On the third floor, along with another 7 professors' offices, there are the administrative secretariat and the technical and administrative staff. Finally, on the fourth floor, there are 12 more professors' offices, a meeting room and the Director's office.
The activities in Bologna are carried out in the so-called “Palazzina delle Lavandaie”, a typical building looking out over the Aposa river which runs through the city. This wing, which is connected to the main building by a long corridor, houses offices for hosting Visiting Scholars, professors and researchers from the CIEG and the campuses of Forlì and Rimini. Some areas are also reserved for final year PhD students working on their theses, as well as Research Fellows. There is also another seminar room.
