The university complex in Via Campagnola opens new classrooms and a common room for students

The via Campagnola complex continues the expansion of usable spaces by inauguratingtwo more lecture halls, two study halls and acommon room for socialising and recreational activities for students. These rooms thus complement the spaces already inaugurated last October, specifically two classrooms with 250 seats each, for a total seating capacity of around 850.

These construction works, which physically began in October 2022, are part of a broader policy of the University of Padua. Indeed, in addition to increasing and innovating research spaces, the aim is to progressively provide students with new lecture halls and to modernise the existing ones.

An important aspect of this building redevelopment is that, in terms of plant engineering,there are no plans to use fossil fuels, in line with theUniversity’s sustainability goals.
Another detail is that the reclamation work carried out for this projectbrought to light the richest Roman necropolis in the city of Padua(220 tombs), dating back to the Augustan age and the first decades of the second century AD.

The area will be part of ahumanistic district, which will also include Palazzo Maldura and the renovated spaces in Via Beato Pellegrino.

Following completion of the Complex, work will continue with the construction of a student residencein the area adjacent to the one housing teaching activities, as well as two more lecture halls and open areas.
