The South Campus, which encompasses the area between Avinguda Diagonal, Avinguda de Joan XXIII and Avinguda del Doctor Marañón, was founded in 1957 with the first faculty that the University of Barcelona (UB) located there: Pharmacy. In the early 1960s, the schools of Architecture, Surveyors (currently Construction) and Industrial Engineering were added, these became the seed of the campus of the future Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), created in 1971. Since then, other institutions and organisations have been added, most of them from the two universities, and the city’s growth has led the campus to be surrounded by buildings instead of isolated, the way it was at first.
