They are immobile. But there are large and many movements on the buildings owned by Ersu, the institution for the right to study in Cagliari . On paper, for now. But the money (in part) is there, the projects too. And the first controversies arrive.
The plan is contained in the document of September 27 that corrects the "New infrastructure structure", which was approved in August last year. Then there was an extraordinary commissioner. Now at the top there is a president with full powers: Cosimo Ghiani. He signs, with the general manager Raffaele Sundas.
And it traces the future of university buildings (and not only) in Cagliari through nine actions.
FORMER BLIND INSTITUTE. Ersu wants to acquire the former blind institute in via Nicolodi (above viale Fra 'Ignazio) and use it to build a canteen, lodgings and study points. The goal is to create the "Campus Sant'Ignazio".
VIA LA CARITAS. The soup kitchen for Ersu is not good in front of the entrance to the Amphitheater. It must be moved elsewhere, in agreement with the Municipality and with Don Marco Lai's Caritas, which manages it. In the past there was talk of the spaces in via Premuda. Far, and a lot, from the center.
EX MODERN. It used to be a student house, now it is an abandoned building, it could become the headquarters of the institution's offices: Palazzo Vivanet, or ex Moderno, in via Roma, will be redeveloped and could also house study spaces. The money is there, the green light of the Region is awaited.
HEADQUARTERS. The building on Corso Vittorio Emanuele, at the corner with via Sassari, is the one that currently houses the offices: it will become a student residence. Ersu is aiming for the funds of a Pnrr call which has just been published.
CANTEEN. We start talking about real money. There are 22.5 million euros in cash. Three are destined for the extension of the canteen in via Trentino. For the other 19.5 there is talk of "new accommodation places in the enlarged urban area of Viale Sant'Ignazio". It is thought of acquiring properties that are already public or at the center of bankruptcy proceedings. There is something to be wrong: it is not written but the target could be the former Lay Clinic, which belonged to the Boy family. Very expensive and very big though. The alternative is Mary Help of Christians, but another entrepreneur would have already grabbed it at auction: luxury apartments will be created.
