The company, one of the main companies in the sector, will invest more than eight million euros in the renovation of the Sor Francisca Armendáriz street building, generating fifty jobs

The rector of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena, Alejandro Díaz, and the CEO of Micampus Residences, Ignacio Baselga, have signed this week the contract for the award of the exploitation for 40 years of the future residence of the UPCT in exchange for the reform of the building that will house it, located in Sor Francisca Armendáriz street, next to the Rectorate.

The new residence could accommodate up to 270 students and the integral reform work will be carried out during the next year and a half.

The company that has won the award is "of solvency recognized in the management of university residences", highlights the UPCT manager, Isidro Ibarra.

Micampus Residencias, a company with more than 15 years of experience and one of the main operators in the sector, currently manages seven residences with more than 2,000 beds in Malaga, Valencia, Seville, Aranjuez, Burgos and Logroño, a figure estimated to double with the opening of its new facilities in Barcelona, ​​Bilbao, Santander, Madrid, Alicante, Oviedo and Cartagena.

“We are committed to the Polytechnic University and the city of Cartagena.

We understand that both the city and the University meet conditions and characteristics that make it a place with enormous appeal for students coming not only from the Region of Murcia but also from nearby regions and abroad, �says Ignacio Baselga.

"Together with the prestige of the UPCT careers and an unparalleled environment, the new residence will contribute to improving the image of university life," said the head of the company.

The remodeling of the old administrative building of the City Hall, initially designed as a residence, will entail a private investment of more than eight million euros and the generation of 50 direct and indirect jobs.

The execution of the works will be carried out by the temporary union of companies between Acciona Construcción SA and Continental Obras y Mantenimiento SL

The new residence, located between the three UPCT campuses, will have a cafeteria-dining room, study and group work rooms and leisure and games rooms.

Its preferred users will be the students and the other members of the UPCT university community.

Concierge service and 24-hour surveillance, weekly cleaning of all rooms, rooms of a minimum of 15 square meters and with study table and ergonomic chair are some of the conditions of the signed contract between the company and the UPCT.

Currently, the UPCT has two residences, with almost 200 single rooms.

Recently, the Cartagena Polytechnic and the Regional Assembly have agreed to extend the transfer of the building in which the principal, Alberto Colao, is located, while the works of the new residence are being carried out.
