This diploma project concerns the redesign of existing building structures of the Polytechnic School of the city of Volos.

The plot of the proposal is located opposite from the existing Faculty of Engineering at the intersection of, Athens Alamanas, Sekeris and Heyden Street, along the banks of Krafsidona River.

These current building structures that otherwise the campus of the University of Thessaly, are situated at the entrance of the city of Volos, in a former industrial zone. Northeast facing Mount Pelion and west to Mount Othris while south facing Pagasitikos bay. On the east side there is the district '' Old '', a developing zone symbol. The band was originally comprised of the buildings of the former factory Papariga which were renovated and the new building of the Engineering Department of Planning and Regional Development

The fact that the existing polytechnic facilities were not designed for university use, the proposed project is its redesign.

Central planning axis is the large number of interior courtyards, around which the university infrastructure is developed.

As the plot is located at the entrance of the city of Volos and a deprived area full of ruins and abandoned buildings, a building landmark was necessary. In terms of design, the above mentioned courtyards are immersed below the zero level, as a sound protection from a continuously charged Athens. The interlocking connection of three schools with longitudinal corridors redefines the identity of a new type of university. Finally the low height of the building shell is to respect the equivalent of the area.
