With 3D Beta, the workspace becomes a place that welcomes, supports, and trains.
Since 1955, the Salesiani have developed a center capable of welcoming over a thousand young people from vulnerable backgrounds, offering them a stable educational environment characterized by care, emotional support, and structured vocational training programs. Many of them have built their future thanks to successful entry into the workforce. Today, the Arese Center continues its mission with over 800 young people enrolled in vocational training programs and 150 post-diploma courses. Two Lombard guesthouses for workers are active, along with the Don Bosco Campus for 18 university students, and the PIT-STOP project aimed at combating school dropout, which involves around 50 preadolescents.
In the Salesian educational model, the environment plays a key role: it must be welcoming, orderly, and capable of conveying care. The intervention by 3D Beta did not merely address an infrastructural need, but helped create a space that aligns with the Center’s philosophy.
At the heart of the Salesian educational mission—dedicated to guiding young people from vulnerable backgrounds along a path of personal and professional development—lies the need to create workspaces that truly make a difference. Not just classrooms, not just any workshop: what was needed was a space that is functional, welcoming, and durable—capable of supporting daily training activities and, above all, becoming a safe and reliable point of reference for young people who need stability, proper tools, and an environment that values them.
This is where 3D Beta comes into play—a company specialized in technical furnishings for high-performance work environments. The goal of the project was not simply to “furnish a space,” but to help build a piece of the future for the young people welcomed by the Salesiani Center.
The goal of the project was not simply to “set up a space,” but to help build a piece of the future for the young people welcomed at the Salesiani Center. This is where a collaboration began—one that turned an educational need into a true case study of integration between functional design, ergonomics, and social value.
