The Católica Medical School building was designed by the architect Bartolomeu da Costa Cabral and inaugurated in 2001. It has an area of about 10,000 square metres and was designed to house an academic teaching and research unit.
This building was rehabilitated in 2021 to receive the Faculty of MedicineCatólica Medical School, whose intervention especially focused on the creation of two spaces: anatomy laboratory and bioterium.
