The new San Donato Milanese bus station, officially inaugurated on November 9, 2023, is a modern and sustainable infrastructure covering an area of 27,500 square meters. Managed by Autostazioni di Milano S.r.l., the facility accommodates the daily transit of approximately 1,300 buses and employs around 100 people, establishing itself as a key hub for public mobility in Lombardy.
One of the standout features of this project is its façade, made with our pre-painted Alu-Skin aluminum siding in a smooth silver finish. The installation was carried out by Elif srl, ensuring a high-quality aesthetic and functional result.

An innovative and sustainable architectural project

The choice of Alubel’s Alu-Skin siding is not only aesthetic but also represents a commitment to environmental sustainability. The use of pre-painted aluminum ensures a lower environmental impact, thanks to its recyclability and long lifespan. Additionally, the fastening system allowed for an efficient and quick installation, reducing construction time and improving operational efficiency.
Pre-painted aluminum offers numerous advantages:

- Durability and resistance to weather conditions, ensuring a long lifespan for the structure.
- Lightweight and easy installation, enabling quick and safe assembly.
- High solar reflectance, contributing to the building’s energy efficiency.

Moreover, the bus station is certified Class A, featuring a photovoltaic solar panel system that generates most of the energy consumed. It also includes electric vehicle charging stations and shared mobility platforms, promoting more sustainable transportation.

Alubel aluminum façade: a model of design and functionality

The application of Alubel’s siding on the façade of the new San Donato Milanese bus station highlights the value of architectural design combined with functionality. The chosen material provides a modern and elegant appearance while enhancing the structure’s energy performance.
The use of pre-painted aluminum is an ideal solution for urban redevelopment projects, as it combines sustainability and innovation without compromising aesthetics.

Conclusions: a model of efficiency and sustainability

Thanks to the collaboration between Alubel SpA and Elif srl, the new San Donato Milanese bus station stands out as a prime example of a sustainable and technologically advanced infrastructure. The use of Alu-Skin aluminum siding is a strategic choice that integrates energy efficiency, innovative design, and long-term durability.
This project is part of a broader process of modernizing public transportation, aligning with sustainable mobility goals and urban redevelopment initiatives.
