Lavrion Technological and Cultural Park-NTUA: A versatile modern workshop in a unique monument of industrial heritage.

The NTUA Lavrion Technological and Cultural Park is not only a fascinating destination. In the industrial landscape of about 62 acres and with 34 rescued buildings of the former French Mining Company of Lavrion (CFML)- 14 of which have been exemplarily restored by the NTUA - history emerges vividly in its materiality; (history conceived as running through the past and the future). Further on, if one scratches a little deeper, one would find its intangible side as well. The silver-giving galleries, accomplices to the wealth and glory of ancient Athens; the first major heavy industrial enterprise of the New Greek State in the 19th century, that marked its entry into the Industrial Revolution; the first company town; the first mass labour movement; some first urban infrastructures outside Athens... Today, the LTCP is a place of experimentation of many orders and bridges between science and society, art and technology, research and production, tradition and vision.

In this place so charged with collective memory, the NTUA has revived not only cultural value and creation, but also technological innovation in research and production, putting the space of memory in interaction with that of the visible future: Here, the research laboratories of the NTUA and businesses, the development of innovative products and services, education, scientific, artistic, educational and social events, the favorite set of filmmakers, special and general tours coexist and happen simultaneously. Also, the Museum of Mining and Metallurgy is under construction and will be the first of its kind at a national level.

Among the restored buildings, the conference and exhibition halls have a special place:

  • -The "Machine Shop - Kostas Panagopoulos Hall". A stone hall with a metal roof, in the centre of the LTCP and adjacent to the above mentioned Museum, that houses some of the historical machinery of the GEML. It is of an area of 500m2 and a capacity of 150-750 people, depending on the event (conference, convention, performance, exhibition, reception) and disposes full sound and projection equipment

   

 

  •  The "Flotation Warehouse". Room 680m2 and capacity 205-1,000 people accordingly, as before. With also apparent stonework and tiled roof and with a particularly impressive structure of the wooden roof. It is located opposite the open-air amphitheatre and, where appropriate, operates in continuity with it.

 

  • Το «Φαρμακείο», αίθουσα 110 m2, δυναμικότητας 100 περίπου ατόμων, στο απλό νεοκλασικό που γειτνιάζει με τη Βίλα Σερπιέρη –σήμερα έδρα της Διοίκησης του ΤΠΠΛ. Διαθέτει εξοπλισμό προβολής και φιλοξενεί μικρότερα συνέδρια και σεμινάρια.

 

 

 

  • Το υπαίθριο αμφιθέατρο, νέα κατασκευή ενσωματωμένη στο ανάγλυφο του γηπέδου, που «κοιτάζει» το συγκρότημα της «Επίπλευσης». Διαθέτει κερκίδες 500-600 ατόμων και δυνατότητα επιπλέον τοποθέτησης 200 περίπου καθισμάτων στην εξαιρετικά ευρύχωρη ορχήστρα του. Έχει φιλοξενήσει εκδηλώσεις κάθε είδους.
