The existing building of the School of Dentistry was built after the project by Desyllas, Kontargyris, Kyriakidis, Lampakis, and Loukakis (first prize of an architectural competition of 1968, concerning also the buildings of Psychiatrics and Neurology). The project for the “Madalideion” Research Center follows the general pattern of the new master plan of creating new façades and entrances to the buildings situated at the north side of the campus. The research center consists of a thin tower defined by a curved sandstone façade built close to the west side of the existing School tower, as well as by an underground auditorium and convention center around a courtyard.
