The Milan Olympic Village is one of the Olympic Villages that hosts the athletes participating in the 2026 Winter Olympics and the 2026 Winter Paralympics, which are taking place in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo in February and March 2026. It is one of six Olympic villages hosting athletes during the Games.
History
The project of the complex, which was built as part of the Scalo Romana redevelopment project and which was developed by real estate company COIMA and designed by the American architecture firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill,[1] was presented in July 2021, with delivery planned in July 2025.[2] The construction works, which lasted 30 months, were completed in June 2025, one month ahead of schedule.[3] The complex was presented to the public during a ceremony attended by institutions, investors, and other stakeholders on 30 September 2025, and was then handed over to Fondazione Milano-Cortina 2026 the following day.[3]
During the Games, it hosts 1,500 residents. The village was officially inaugurated by Kirsty Coventry on Monday, February 2, 2026.[4]
After the games, COIMA plans to convert the complex into student housing for college students in Milan.[5] Buildings adjacent to the park and railway near Olympic Square will be converted into affordable housing. Additionally, the Olympic Village Plaza is set to transform into a community square featuring retail stores, bars, restaurants, and cafés at ground level. The plaza will also include outdoor areas designated for farmers' markets and various community activities.[6]
Description
The village, located in the western side of the new Scalo Romana district, covers an area of approximately 60,000 m2 (650,000 sq ft). The complex consists of six newly constructed buildings, two pre-existing structures of industrial origin, as well as an Olympic plaza.[7]
