New seminar in Sevilla

Located in a diverse urban sector in its configuration and buildings, the New Seminary is articulated around a large courtyard located to the west of the land allocated for its construction and which is presided over by the Chapel. The place that symbolises the religion and studies that are taught there.

To the south of this central courtyard, the residential area is developed in three parallel building wings which, interlinked by a low service building, reach seven storeys. The lower floors are occupied by community spaces, the upper floors by the seminarians' rooms, and between the two a free, terraced floor, which separates the living quarters from the teaching quarters, formalises an ambulatory from which there are views of the Vega del Guadalquivir. To the north, the three floors of the academic area build the façade on the new Calle Cardenal Bueno Monreal. An area that, on reaching Avda. de Las Palmeras, is enveloped by a small garden, as are the houses and villas that back onto this unique road in the city.
