Col·legi Major Lluís Vives

Col·legi Major Lluís Vives is an academic residence hall with Rationalist architecture in the Ciutat Universitària. The building features a rectangular footprint, expansive windows, and efficiently organized spaces arranged across multiple levels.

Architect Francisco Javier Goerlich Lleó designed this building in 1935, though it did not open until 1954. The gap between design and construction reflects the complex development of the university campus during that period.

The residential college is named after philosopher Juan Luis Vives, reflecting his importance to the university community. It served generations of students as their home while they studied, becoming part of the campus social fabric.

The building is located on Avinguda de Vicent Blasco Ibáñez within the university campus, surrounded by other educational facilities. Its position makes it easy to access the wider campus and move between different university areas.

The building earned recognition as a Property of Local Relevance for its representation of early 20th-century Rationalist design in Valencia. This designation honors its architectural contribution to the region's building heritage.
