In the early 20th century, the Universitat de València was faced with the need to expand its teaching facilities due to an increase in student enrollment and the devastating fire that in 1932 ravaged the Faculty of Sciences, located in the historic building on Calle La Nave. These events prompted the planning and construction of what would become Valencia’s first university city. The initial focus was on constructing new buildings for the faculties of Sciences and Medicine, located along the paseo de Valencia al Mar, now known as Avenida de Blasco Ibáñez.
From the 1930s onwards, the architect Javier Goerlich played a pivotal role in shaping the new university city, designing buildings such as the Student Residence, the School of Advanced Commercial Studies (currently the Joan Reglà Library), and the sports field. Following the catastrophic flood of 1957, Fernando Moreno Barberá took the reins and designed additional buildings to accommodate various faculties and schools. These structures are considered some of the finest examples of the Modern Movement in the Valencian region.
