The University of Coimbra (UC) is going ahead with the second phase of the refurbishment of the old bus terminal in Figueira da Foz, to create more space for the university campus.
According to the contract published on Portal Base, the contract, worth 1.08 million euros, has a deadline of 120 days after being awarded, and is expected to be completed in the next academic year.
In response to the Lusa news agency, the UC said that the intervention in Building II of the Figueira da Foz Campus will create three new rooms (two for culture and one for preparation), a laboratory, a classroom and an auditorium with capacity for 70 people.
In the first phase, the higher education institution invested around 650,000 euros in renovating the building to create three classrooms and two laboratories.
The old Figueira da Foz bus terminal was ceded in July 2023 by the Figueira da Foz City Council to the UC for a period of 30 years.
The creation of the UC Campus in Figueira da Foz, based at Quinta das Olaias, is the result of a cooperation protocol with the local municipality, which was signed in September 2022 between the two entities.
