The campus
The University of Navarra's sciences buildings
The model shows one part of the University of Navarra's campus in Pamplona: its sciences buildings, shared from the start by the faculties of Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy and Nutrition, and Sciences. The Research Building (1958) was the University's first; Los Castaños followed in 1963 and the Hexágono, designed by Carlos Sobrini, in 1970. The Science Library (1990, extended in 1997) added classrooms and laboratories, and a new building, the Centro Bioma, has been under construction since January 2026.
Hexágono (Edificio de Ciencias)
Designed by Carlos Sobrini and finished in 1970, in dark rough brick, with its rooms organised around a central heart. The University's Museum of Sciences has shown part of its collections here since 1998.
Edificio de Investigación
The University's first building, built in 1958.
Los Castaños
Built in 1963. The first Biology students shared classrooms and laboratories on its two floors with Medicine, Nursing and Pharmacy.
Biblioteca de Ciencias
The Science Library, built in 1990 and extended in 1997, which added classrooms and laboratories.
Questions
Before you buy
