Unique spaces imbued with the university spirit. Settings with a special character, where companies and institutions can stage their social, cultural and corporate events. High level facilities at the service of the city.

A new concept of public university was created in 1990: Pompeu Fabra University. A university established by the Government of Catalonia, with a clear urban commitment and goals that go beyond the purely educational sphere.

Pompeu Fabra University is firmly committed to art, culture, history, the city... aspects that can complement and enrich its educational role. A social commitment that is to date unprecedented among Catalan universities, which aims to mark the start of a project of complete regeneration. The facilities at UPF are in this respect the clearest example of this philosophy: fully refurbished historic buildings for educational work, with the collaboration of renowned architects and artists. Modern infrastructures that the University opens up to companies and institutions requiring external spaces with added value as a venue for their events and activities.

The University's geographical setting and its major restoration work have expanded the range of high quality public spaces in the centre of Barcelona, and have contributed to regenerating parts of the city that until recently suffered from a significant degree of deterioration.
