The new building will combine higher education, scientific research and development in the fields of pharmacy, clinical biochemistry and related natural sciences in one place. At the same time, due to the acquisition of larger spatial capacities, it will be possible to increase the enrollment of male and female students. It is about personnel that is in short supply in Slovenia.
Minister dr. At the laying of the foundation stone, Papic said: Today we are laying the third foundation stone for the new building of the University of Ljubljana in the last two and a half years. The foundation stone for the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine was laid in December 2023, and for the Faculty of Medicine in February 2024. Both new buildings will be completed soon. Todays foundation stone for the Faculty of Pharmacy will soon be joined by the foundation stone for the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. This government has started a major investment cycle in scientific research and higher education infrastructure throughout Slovenia, because employees of higher education and scientific research institutions and students deserve excellent infrastructure and financial conditions for work and study.
The total value of the project is 133 million euros (including VAT). The greater part of the amount will be settled from the state fund, namely a good 116 million euros, since the new building is included as a strategic investment of the state in the Act on providing financial resources for investments in Slovenian health care in the years from 2021 to 2031. The remaining part of the funds will be contributed by the University of Ljubljana or Faculty of Pharmacy.
The building itself will be completed in 2029, and employees and students will move into it in 2030. The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Ljubljana will also grow in the immediate vicinity.
