The Formula Uomo programme is divided into several different sections: working environment, layout of the Ferrari ‘village’, focus on safety, environmental awareness and energy saving, and employee and family services.

The latest two buildings in terms of working environment to be constructed were the new Company Restaurant designed by architect Marco Visconti and the New Car Assembly Lines designed by architect Jean Nouvel, winner of this year’s internationally prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize.

The new buildings

The new Car Assembly Lines

The new Car Assembly Lines are the second new addition to the Ferrari campus.

These are where the melding of artisan skills and avant-garde technologies is at its most advanced.

Every single work station has been designed to improve work quality by reducing worker movement and enhancing ergonomics in a climate-controlled environment that guarantees comfortable working conditions all year round.

The Lines are surrounded by large windows that open onto a green area featuring the historic red-painted wall of the facility built by Enzo Ferrari in the 1960s.

Ferrari Restaurant

The Ferrari Restaurant is located at the very heart of the Ferrari “village”.

Designed as a place where employees can meet and socialise, it is surrounded by a partly covered square where workers can relax during their breaks.

This is the same concept that inspired the creation of new refreshment areas such as the garden area created inside the Foundry.

The Formula Uomo Programme

“With the addition of these two new buildings,” stressed the President, “we have completed the renovation of the entire Car Production Area that began in the late 1990s, and has involved the investment of over 200 million euro. Next year we will be going one step further when we begin work on the new GES facility.”

Great emphasis has been placed on safety in the work place, environmental awareness and energy saving throughout the project also.

With regard to environmental protection and energy saving, Ferrari CEO Amedeo Felisa introduced the two latest projects embarked upon: a photovoltaic system and a trigeneration plant.

“These new energy generations plants,” said Amedeo Felisa, “will allow us to cut the amount of electricity we take from the national grid by 25% and to reduce our CO2 emissions by 35%.  "
