The new campus will allow the hospital to continue operating its current facilities across various sites, catering to the emerging needs of the local population. 

The hospital’s existing location in the Eixample neighbourhood will retain its healthcare, teaching, research, and innovation services, alongside new municipal facilities and public spaces.  

Initial discussions for the new complex began in February 2021, with a report in late 2021 proposing the UB’s sports courts as the project’s location.  

Following further protocols and evaluations, the institutions have now confirmed the site’s suitability and viability for the future Hospital Clínic de Barcelona. 

UB rector Joan Guàrdia said: “Undoubtedly, this is the most important strategic healthcare, teaching and research project for the future of our country.  

“And it is so because one of the leading hospitals in Spain, the Hospital Clínic, and the best university in Spain, the UB, whose Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences is ranked among the top 50 in Europe, are sealing and strengthening their historic alliance to promote one of the most powerful health campuses in the south of the continent.”
