University City of Madrid, University campus in northwestern Madrid, Spain
The University City of Madrid extends across multiple hectares, containing educational buildings, research facilities, gardens, and recreational spaces connected by pedestrian paths.
The campus originated from a 1928 project led by architect Modesto López Otero, who designed the layout following North American university models.
The site holds architectural examples from different periods, including the Central Power Plant building that received the National Architecture Prize in 1932.
The campus houses three major institutions: Complutense University of Madrid, Technical University of Madrid, and National University of Distance Education.
The underground heating network spans 9,500 meters through service tunnels, connecting twelve substations that distribute energy across campus buildings.
