Bâtiments du Camp Jacob, Historical monument and university campus in Saint-Claude, Guadeloupe.
The Camp Jacob buildings stand at an elevation of 545 meters on Morne-Houël, providing views over the Caribbean Sea and southern Basse-Terre.
Built around 1845 under Governor Gourbeyre's direction, these military buildings initially served as a hospital for mainland troops to acclimate to the tropical climate.
The pavilions designed by architect Antonin Romand represent 19th-century military colonial architecture with their iron and stone structures.
The campus houses the Institute of Technology and the multidisciplinary department of literature, languages and human sciences with student residences.
The university residence studios, managed by CROUS Antilles and Guyane, offer 18-square-meter accommodations with essential facilities.
