The Universitat Jaume I has completed the building of the Faculty of Health Sciences with a global investment of 36.6 million euros, co-financed by the UJI and the Generalitat Valenciana. The rector of the UJI, Eva Alcón, and the president of the Generalitat Valenciana, Ximo Puig, have visited today the new facilities in an institutional event on the occasion of the completion of the works.

The second phase of the Faculty of Health Sciences includes two modules, one for teaching and the other for research, of just over 8,000 square metres in total, in addition to the 13,100 square metres of the first phase. The Faculty thus adds 25 new classrooms, three of them for mixed use and which function as teaching laboratories for Psychobiology and two for Computer Science. In addition, these two modules also house other teaching laboratories such as the osteotechnics laboratory, three sample laboratories and 49 individual and five double offices.

The rector of the UJI, Eva Alcón, stressed that this building "is the result of many shared efforts, a paradigmatic example that investment in spaces to generate knowledge, quality training and leading research is the best investment in the future that we can make as a society". "In short, we are faced with vital infrastructures such as this faculty", she added.

It is a modern and functional facility where almost 2,000 students are studying for degrees in medicine, nursing and psychology, official master's degrees and doctoral programmes. "The students who open this faculty for the first time will have more advanced health infrastructures", said the president of the Generalitat, Ximo Puig, for whom the building "conveys, on the one hand, Castelló's aspiration for progress and, on the other hand, a priority which is the welfare state where health is a fundamental pillar".

A decade has passed since work began on the plot of land and the construction of this facility, executed in two phases, began. The first phase was inaugurated in 2018, and this second phase has completed the five modules that make up the Faculty: two for teaching, two for research and another for services.

The completion of the Faculty, with a total surface area of 22,000 square metres, represents the culmination of the UJI's aspiration to offer health studies, a claim that was born in the first decade of the 2000s and materialised in September 2011 after the Generalitat Valenciana authorised the creation of the Faculty of Health Sciences centre.

First in the provisional headquarters of the current Sports and Central Services building and, since 2018 in the first phase of the new Faculty, more than 2,000 students have graduated in Medicine, Nursing or Psychology since the 2011-2012 academic year and more than 900 have obtained a university master's degree.
