Generalitat Forms Campus Clínic Consortium, Moves to Buy UB’s Diagonal Plots and Accelerates Design

The move positions the publicly led biomedical hub for a coordinated delivery timeline.

Overview

  • A nine-member Consorci Porta Diagonal–Campus Clínic was formally constituted to steer the project under Generalitat leadership.
  • The government approved a protocol to purchase UB’s Diagonal parcels for €135 million to be formalized by year-end, with UB retaining use until 2030 and receiving up to €17.5 million toward a new Faculty of Pharmacy.
  • The international architecture competition is advanced to July 2026, with a winner slated for the first quarter of 2028 and an estimated €109 million contract.
  • The L3 metro extension is scheduled to begin construction in mid‑2028, starting with a 2.5‑km phase adding Esplugues Centre and Sant Joan de Déu–Finestrelles stations within an estimated €500 million program, targeting full operation by 2033.
  • The program forecasts campus construction around 2030 and inauguration in 2035, with roughly 300,000 m² of facilities embedded in a wider 70‑hectare urban redevelopment and an overall investment near €1.7 billion.
