Work is underway on the new library at the San Dámaso Ecclesiastical University, located in the building housing the Basilica of San Francisco El Grande in Madrid, owned by the Obra Pía de los Santos Lugares, an autonomous body under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union, and Cooperation. The work is being carried out in accordance with the project designed by architects Ignacio Feduchi Benlliure and Ángel García Álvarez, and once completed, it will reinforce the mission and prestige of the San Dámaso Ecclesiastical University. It will undoubtedly become an academic benchmark and an exemplary work in the conservation of our heritage.

The building, with a usable area of 1,717 square meters, will house 350,000 volumes and will have two areas equipped for more than 40 researchers and 80 students, doubling the current capacity of the university library. One of the fundamental pillars of the project will be heritage protection: integrating a state-of-the-art academic infrastructure into an environment with an exceptional historical legacy, ensuring maximum respect for its architectural and urban identity.
