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.

BUSINESS VIA TRENTINO. The sixth intervention is the biggest: the construction of a new student house in via Trentino, on the dirt road that is now used (in part) as a parking lot. An integrated urban planning program is needed, which must also involve the Region and the Municipality. Money? The formula for finding them is already there: project financing. A private individual is already there and would also be ready to go. But first it will be necessary to convince some of the owners of the land. In addition to overcoming the obstacles already raised in the Municipality. “With a motion approved in 2021 we had committed the mayor and the council to initiate discussions with the owners of the area to carry out archaeological investigations within 60 days. Were they asked? ”: The question comes from Matteo Massa (Progressives), who returns to the point with a question. Which contains other questions: “Has Ersu officially let the Municipality know something about its project? Have the proposals been formalized? And have the citizens' committees been informed or involved? ”. The questions appear rhetorical, because the answer seems to be "no" for all. But you will have to wait until the day of the discussion to find out. Massa waits. Like the residents of the area. And other.

CAMPUS AND STUDY POINTS. In its remodeling, Ersu also proposes to the Municipality a revision of the agreements on Viale La Playa: an exchange of spaces that gravitate around the two silos (one bound and the other not) next to the campus that should open in January. In the end, the Municipality also proposed to open study points in the former Pirri glassworks and in the Molentargius park. Not much, in terms of money, compared to the previous points considered much more relevant and on which there is a lot of attention.
