Finally I am finished the works for the realization of theUniversity of Scampia, indeed precisely the Scampia Complex, which is ready to start the first courses that will inaugurate the Faculty of Health Professions.

The last finishing touches are still missing, but basically it can be said that the work has been completed.

The first courses will start on Monday 17 October 2022 mentioned and students will be able to follow the lessons every day.

How the Scampia University Complex is made

The building of this university branch looks like a large cylinder of 7 floors (two of which are underground) at the center of which is the entrance hall. It is largely covered with glass, so inside it is very bright and you can also see the sky.

The rest of the structure is made up of Vietnamese stone and not Vesuvian since procuring a quantity necessary to build the building was too complicated. All completed by asign of 11 meters with the inscription “University of Naples. Scampia Complex "e blue banners of 5 meters with the university name and logo in white.
