Overlooking the historical center, the university is located on top of the Janiculum, Rome’s highest hill. With its own garden of Roman pines, the campus is near two city parks, Villa Sciarra and Villa Pamphili.

The university is an urban campus. The compound is composed of several nearby buildings located on the Janiculum hill, a short walk from the city center. The main campus is formed of three 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 and library. The Villino houses principally the design studios, faculty offices and classroom space. In addition to the main campus there are two off-site buildings, Calandrelli, which hosts faculty offices & the Italian language Lab and the Art Studio.

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.
