NOI begins with you!

You are here because you have talent, know­ledge and po­tential. But especially because you want to be active, and above all because, just like us, you want to shape tomorrow’s future today. And we are culti­vating a creative atmo­sphere to achieve this. We delight in all new impulses – they broaden our horizons. The most important thing here is the openness of each indivi­dual. Coopera­tion and ini­tiative give rise to synergies that add up to so much more than the sum of their parts.
NOI is not just a place.
NOI is about possibilities.

To help you quickly feel at home, we have made a list of the most important things that you will need to know to get you off to a smooth start at NOI. And if there is anything that we have missed out, just ask! Everybody here will be happy to help you.

... for Deliveries

Please arrange all deliveries via Ipazia, be­cause this is the only entrance which allows direct access for delivery vehicles. This entrance is always reser­ved for deliveries. NB: for organi­sational reasons, the owners of all vehicles need to be trace­able. Therefore, make sure there is a contact number visible on all delivery vehicles. In addition, always include the first and last name on any package as well as the name of the corre­sponding institution, or alter­natively NOI, so that the package is also trace­able.

... on Foot or by Bike

There are three entrances for pedes­trians and bicycles: two main entrances in via A. Volta next to our restaurant NOISTERIA, and in the south via Ipazia follow the red arrow. Please leave your bike at the designated bicycle racks.

... by Car or Motor Bike

You can park your car or motor bike in our under­ground car park. The entrance/­exit is in via A. Volta, on the eastern side of Building A5 – simply follow the blue arrow. It is open from 5:45 to 23:00 (on Saturdays from 8:00 to 20:30). If you intend to make regular use of the car park you may obtain a parking permit. See → GETTING ORGANISED.
CAUTION! The gratings on the ramp are very slippery, especially when wet. Two-wheelers must be pushed. vedi GETTING ORGANISED.

... by Bus

The bus stops are locat­ed in via A. Volta direct­ly in front of the main en­trance – fol­low the yel­low signs. We have a direct bus route, number 111. It links NOI with the city centre, the main rail­way station and Bolzano Sud train station. Alter­na­tively, you can use bus routes 111-S, 6, 10A and 10B. For depar­ture times please check → sasabz.it

... by Train

It is a 10-minute walk from Bolzano Sud train station to NOI.

... on Horseback

Cats, dogs, horses or igua­nas – we love ani­mals! But because there are many sen­sitive la­bo­ra­tory en­viron­ments on the NOI pre­mises, all with very high hy­giene stan­dards, animals are un­for­tunately not per­mitted.

Please note that the indi­vidual buil­dings have different addresses.

Staying safe

This number is attend­ed 24/7. A team mem­ber of our Facility Manage­ment will help you.

Fire Protection

Please ensure that all appli­cable fire pro­tection regu­lations are ob­served. Escape routes and fire pro­tection equip­ment must be acces­sible at all times, emer­gency exits must not be blocked under any circum­stances and haz­ardous sub­stances must only be stored in the areas pro­vided for this pur­pose. All safety vio­la­tions re­gard­ing fire pro­tection must be re­ported im­me­diately to NOI SpA. For more de­tails, please refer to the docu­ment “Piano di Emergenza e di Evacuazione”, which you can down­load from Viva Engage.
In the event of a fire alarm, all build­ings must be eva­cu­ated as quickly as possible. There are three assembly points: on the main square in front of building A1, at the entrance to the underground car park in front of build­ing D1, and at the back door of the east wing of building A1. Head to the assembly point closest to your lo­cation and follow further instruc­tions from the security officers.

First Aid

NOI ensures that all neces­sary first aid equip­ment is available and main­tained. A defibrillator is located at the Infor­mation Desk.

Security

We have hired a security ser­vice to monitor the site. Security is also respon­sible for the main gates on via A. Volta – these are closed at 23:00 and open again at 5:45 in the morning (on Saturdays, the main gates open at 8:00 and close at 20:30).

Keys

NOI is equipped with a central, digital access con­trol system, which oper­ates by using RFID-badges as keys. You will receive detailed infor­mation about this to­gether with your badge directly from us at NOI-Recep­tion on the 2nd floor. If keys are lost or stolen, please report this im­me­diately to NOI SpA so that they can be deleted from the system. In this even­tuality we will have to char­ge you 30 €.

Video Surveillance

The entire tech­no­logy park is equip­ped with a video surveil­lance system. The record­ings are stored for 24 hours and are only viewed by the secu­rity forces in the case of an emer­gency.

Support

Electric, plumbing, heat­ing, cool­ing, ac­cess control – all sup­port requests for build­ing ser­vices are handled by a cen­tral ticket system. Just send an e-mail to fm@support.bz.it

Tickets are pro­ces­sed in strict order of pri­or­ity. Requests via telephone can­not be accepted for organisational reasons.

Main­tenance work and other sched­uled inter­ventions and the result­ing incon­ven­ience will be com­muni­cated by the NOI-Team as early as possible.

For IT and telephony related issues, please contact your administration.

Photos and videos

Sometimes a picture (or video) is worth a thousand words, right? If you need visual material of NOI, you can use our well-stocked photo and video archive. Or get creative yourself. We have summarised for you how to access our archive, what you need to bear in mind when using or producing the images and who you can contact if you have any questions.

Enjoy good vibes

Room Temperature

You can regulate the temperature in your office or lab from the room thermostat.

Lighting

The standard lamps and lights in your office can be dimmed by holding down the push button for a short while. The standard lamps also have a motion detector that auto­matically switches off the lamp. The lights in the open-space offices and corridors are also controlled by timers and day­light sensors, so you do not have to worry about them. Only when you leave a room with a light switch – please switch it off manually.

Waste Separation

It goes without saying: waste separation is im­portant to us, and it is also quite simple here. On all floors you will find recycling areas with containers for plastic, paper, glass and metal, as well as garbage bins for residual waste. Our cleaning service empties the waste in the bins every day. We only ask you to take waste that is too big for these containers (e.g. large cardboard boxes) to the collection point yourself. You are also respon­sible for the disposal of bulky or hazardous waste as well as dangerous sub­stances.

Smoking

Keep it fresh. Smoking is not allowed in any of the buildings at NOI.

Signage

To make it easier for every­one to find their way around, we have devel­oped a uni­form sys­tem for desig­nating the rooms, and we use these desig­nations on all doors and in all communi­cations.

Instructions

Personal initiative is required  – but not when it comes to the pre­mises and furni­shings. Modi­fying tech­no­logy or elec­trical systems, drilling holes in walls, con­verting or pasting things on furni­ture, obscur­ing glass pan­els with furni­ture or by cov­ering them, hang­ing up posters, ad­ver­tising material or signs: no matter what you want to change, con­vert or hang up, please con­tact our Facility Manage­ment first: → fm@noi.bz.it

Take a break

Restaurant

Whether for your coffee break, lunch or aperi­tivo, NOISTERIA is the place to get your refresh­ments. Always open from Monday to Friday, 8:00 – 20:00. You can book a table here:
→ +39 0471 180 0031
info@noisteria.it

Community Bar

Our Community bar on the 2nd floor of build­ing A1, with its covered and leafy conser­va­tory, is the perfect place for an infor­mal meeting, a short break or a table tennis match. Here you will find fridges, a dishwasher and sinks that you can use for your own purposes. The prin­ciple of a com­munity applies here: every­thing that is here can and should be used by every­one. And in order to keep every­thing nice and pleas­ant please treat it with care.
The Community Bar also offers a range of food, snacks and drinks provided by Rockin Beets by Cibus BZ Srl. All products are vegan and made from organic or Fairtrade ingredients, sourced locally and seasonally wherever possible. To minimise waste, the meals come in glass containers. Enjoy the delicious and healthy food – and don't forget to pay for your meal: you can choose from a variety of payment methods and systems. Also, please remember to return the glass containers.

Smoking Areas

Outside you will find smoking areas with ash­trays – please restrict your smoking to these places.

Park

NOI is sur­rounded by green spaces. Make your­self at home here whilst enjoy­ing the fresh air and the mountain views.

Kitchenettes

Treat yourself to a cup of tea or coffee and have a chat. The com­munal kitchenettes at NOI are avail­able for every­one and are ideal for short breaks. Here you can warm up the food you have brought with you, but they are not suitable for extensive cooking. Please al­ways tidy up after­wards so that it remains nice and clean for every­one.

Meet up

NOISE

You find the NOISE just past the Infor­mation Desk on the ground floor. It is a mix­ture of library with stimu­lating maga­zines and a generous co-working area. There are about 50 work­stations, with power points and high-speed inter­net ac­cess. For important or private telephone or video calls, feel free to use one of the two phone booths. At the NOISE, you can work, read and have small, infor­mal meetings here. This area is for everyone, both inter­nally and exter­nally – just pop in and find your­self a space, no regis­tra­tion needed. Open Monday to Friday from 7:45 to 21:45 and Saturday from 9:00 to 20:00.

Seminar Area

There are four semi­nar rooms with fast inter­net access and a screen or moni­tor in each avail­able to the NOI-Community. More infor­mation about the rooms and their equip­ment can be found here: → noi.bz.it/en/seminar-area

The spacious rooms at NOI can be booked at any time for work­shops, semi­nars and confe­rences – and by the way, also for exter­nal groups. It is impor­tant, though, that the event matches the ethos of NOI – it should pri­mar­ily be about inspir­ing and imparting know­ledge, not sel­ling and mar­ket­ing. If needed, our Meeting Manage­ment is happy to support you in the orga­ni­sation of your event. Send all your enquiries to → meetings@noi.bz.it

Crane Hall

NOI’s architecture is thril­ling: where we meet and work today was once a large alu­minium plant. The pro­duc­tion hall of this former fac­tory has been re­stored for NOI and, with a length of 70 metres and a height of around 10 metres, offers plenty of space for special events.

Open Air Theatre

Yes, we do also have an open air theatre. We use this cov­ered out­door area for press confe­rences and events, plays or concerts, but also as a casual every­day meeting place. All en­qui­ries about the semi­nar rooms, the crane hall and the open air theatre can be sent to → meetings@noi.bz.it

Meeting Rooms

There are eleven shared meeting rooms in buil­d­ings A1 and D1 for the NOI-Com­mu­nity. You can book them on&shyline on → rooms.noi.bz.it

NB: You may only book the meeting rooms in the same building as your offices. In addition, in building D1, you may only book meeting rooms on the same floor as your offices.
Samantha, Marie and Margaret meeting rooms in building A1 and all meeting rooms in building D1 are equipped with conference webcams (Media Meeting Owls) for improved communication during hybrid meetings. Simply connect your PC to the device and start the videoconference. If you experience any problems, please open a ticket to it@support.noi.bz.it.
