Created to bring together a set of faculties heretofore found in different locations, Segovia’s new campus rises on the city’s old outskirts, in a place occupied in the 19th century by a military barracks. With an area of 15,000 square meters, the site was divided into two parts by a street that cut through it perpendicularly. This partition led to defining two areas within the campus: one for a library and communal zones, and the other for faculties, the vice-rectory and the auditorium. The first, recently carried out, is formed by a covered space in which classrooms are organized around the library. To make the central space, conceived like an agora, as diaphanous as possible, the reading zones are placed in towers suspended from a structure supported only by four pìllars. For its part, entrance control is situated in a pit, in this way allowing the library to function independently. The spatial continuity and breadth thus achieved contrast with the fragmented exterior of the building, which blends easily into the urban context.
