The objective of the investment is to rehabilitate, consolidate, modernize, extend and equip the historical headquarters of the Romanian Academy and to build a new building – Aula.
The existing building, the historical headquarters of the “Romanian Academy”, is a class B historical monument, being included in the Romanian Academy Ensemble – 2210, code B-II-a-A-19866 – “Romanian Academy Ensemble” and benefits from the protection of Law no. 422/2001 on the protection of historical monuments.
The investment involves three stages:
– construction of a new building (2B+GF+IF+2F), called the Aula;
– consolidation, rehabilitation, and expansion of the office building (B+GF+3F+Attic);
– consolidation, rehabilitation, modernization, and conversion of the historic headquarters of the Romanian Academy into a museum (partial B+GF+1F).
The building superstructure is reinforced concrete. The dome on the terrace above the auditorium will be made of metal.
o Built area: 1215 sqm;
o Total area: 8145 sqm;
Existing Building:
New reinforced concrete walls are introduced, some existing masonry walls are lined, existing wooden and stud masonry floors are replaced with reinforced concrete floors.
o Gross area: 195 sqm;
o Total area: 872.20 sqm;
Enlargement:
Structure made of monolithic reinforced concrete elements.
o Built area: 225.30 sqm;
o Total area: 1163.40 sqm;
The future function of the building will be that of a museum, thus involving the movement of a larger number of people who will generate vibrations as well as additional loads on top of the existing ones. Thus, the floor proposed to be built above the ground floor will be made of reinforced concrete, thus also ensuring the role of a rigid washer, this solution being more suitable for the creation of the openings indicated by the architectural theme. The floor above the first floor, given that the attic is not accessible, will remain in its existing structural form, with wooden or metal beams, for which the degraded elements and layers will be replaced.
The floors on the ground floor and basement will be rebuilt in reinforced concrete. As for the masonry walls, it is proposed to reinforce them along the entire height of the house.
Repair work will be carried out by injection for cracked walls, complete restoration of the roof structure and covering, complete restoration of the floor above the first floor, as well as restoration of the skylight.
Existing Building:
o Built area: 1753 sqm;
o Total area: 4027 sqm;
