This section of the Village, designed by Constantin and Camerana, is made by the regeneration of the former Mercati Generali compound, a group of outstanding modern architecture buildings (project Umberto Cuzzi, 1932).

The five main existing blocks have been deeply restored and partly redesigned to host the 25,000 square meter Services Centre, both a crossing passage and a functional, high-tech yet welcoming meeting point.
During the Games, this section hosted the accreditation centre, logistics, conference and interview rooms, a small shopping mall, a 2,600 seat restaurant, a medical centre, workout and relaxation areas.

After the Games, the buildings are planned to host other major events (Chess World Championship 2006; Fencing World Championship 2006; Winter Universiade Torino 2007; other will follow up to Torino World Design Capital 2008) and is planned to be transformed in a Design University.

The need for post-Olympic flexibility required a basic restoration, making use of the existing buildings inherent functionality and maintaining the main spaces and circulation areas structure.

The only real changes in functional design requested to provide glazed enclosures to the existing covered spaces and the opening of the Market inner spaces towards the main street named via Giordano Bruno, providing a complete U-turn to the previous town secluding scheme.
