The existing building of the School of Veterinary Science, by E. Kakouris, was completed in 1970. The new laboratory wing, designed as part of the new campus master plan, contributes to the formation of a new façade of the complex towards one of the main axes of the campus and transforms the function and character of the internal courtyard. This courtyard, including the new library and refectory buildings, is designed to become the core of faculty and student life.
