Overlooking the historical center, the university is located on top of the Janiculum, Rome’s highest hill. With its own garden of Roman pines it offers a spectacular view of Rome and the surrounding hills. The campus is near two city parks, Villa Sciarra and Villa Pamphili and historical landmarks. The area also hosts diplomatic residences and several international academies.
The university is an urban campus and the compound is composed of 5 nearby buildings. The main campus is formed of two buildings, an auditorium and a spacious garden. Building A hosts administrative and faculty offices, student services and the main computer lab whilst building B has the bulk of the classrooms, laboratories and faculty offices. Evans’ Hall, a liberty villa of 1920, is the site of the library, student lounges and a beautiful outside garden. Carini 23, a five story building of the ‘70s designed by a famous Italian Architect (Paolo Portoghesi) is the location of design studios, faculty offices, and the Batista Multimedia Laboratory, a state of the art lab for film production.
The neighborhood offers a variety of restaurants, shops, cafes, and an outdoor market. Located just off the ancient Roman route Via Aurelia, the university is well connected to the center of Rome by several bus lines. In just a few minutes, students can walk to stunning Trastevere, a charming neighborhood nestled along the banks of the Tiber River.
