About the Place
Known as Cantina Velha (old canteen), this hub of the University City’s social and functional organisation serves as a meeting place for people from different parts of the campus. Comprising two L-shaped wings, access is made through the end section, which features a square and a flight of steps facing Alameda da Universidade. The recessed corner forms a private garden and terrace. From the entrance hall, one enters the dining area: a spacious room with a soaring vaulted ceiling, supported by buttresses and exposed pillars. The facades are composed of characteristic hollow concrete blocks. The interiors, designed by the architects, feature works of art by Domingos Soares Branco, Jorge Vieira, Rolando Sá Nogueira, Teresa Sousa and Vasco da Conceição.
