All indoor areas of the school are equipped with Mechanical Extract Ventilation (MEC), a ventilation system designed to draw in fresh air from the outside every 30 minutes, filter and heat it, thus allowing for regular air exchange in all school rooms and classrooms.
By providing an adequate airflow, this system ensures a considerably healthier environment and drastically reduces the presence of harmful organic or inorganic air pollutants, such as viruses.
While Mechanical Extract Ventilation systems are not yet widespread in public places, nor have they been imposed by current regulations, we from Scuola Montessori Bilingue di Milano have taken it upon ourselves to ensure the current and future well-being of our children and staff. We have done this by making the decision to install this type of airflow system, in the light of the past Covid pandemic and its related consequences.
The installation of this airflow system was in fact completed as early as July 2020.”
