In the course of the work carried out by NCREP to assess the structural conservation status, technical visits were made to the building. These allowed visual inspection, auxiliary surveys, a structural survey and in situ tests to be performed with the aim of more accurately assessing the constitution and the structural condition.

The strengthening project was carried out, including the seismic strengthening of the building, using solutions compatible with the pre-existing structural elements.
