Bar-restaurant

In July 2, 2012 construction works began on what will become the Food and Nutrition Torribera Campus' bar-restaurant. With a main hall, two more rooms on both sides and a large terrace, it is envisaged to provide service to the whole campus community as a meeting point and resting area. Its startup is scheduled by mid-2013.

Esports UB

The sports service, besides offering the facilities in Pedralbes at much reduced rates, has also a complete service in sports training which students may incorporate to their curriculum plan in the form of sports credits (ECTS). What's more, they can participate in a number of activities directed towards intra and inter university sports competitions at Catalan, Spanish and international levels. Students are even given the chance to enter the top-level athletes' program approved by UB's Governing Council.

You will find more information in Esports UB.

Torribera's Sports Complex

It is found in the very Torribera site. The complex is municipal property and offers its facilities (an external swimming pool, football fields, tennis courts and a pelota court) at special pricing and with the possibility to purchase annual, monthly or one-day passes. An agreement with Santa Coloma de Gramenet's City Council allows using these services with a 30% discount on the fee in force.

Parking Lot

Torribera premises has extensive parking areas. For any visitor, parking is free for the first hour and the subsequent hours or fraction of hour cost 0,70 €. An annual subscription can be bought for 80 €.

Wi-Fi Hotspots

The corporate service to access University of Barcelona's network without cables (WifiUB) is conceived as a complementary system to the operating computer network, and it is aimed mainly to web navigation for temporary connections.

The potential users of this system are all the members of the UB collective and, shortly, those belonging to the institutions which form the Eduroam project. It also envisions the possibility that, in a near future, other temporary users can access it at the request of any unit of the UB.

For safety reasons, in order to use WifiUB it is required an access code and a password. For the members of UB collective, this code is the personal identification for local resources.

As stated above, WifiUB is a complement, not a substitution, to the current wired systems, and that's why its services and areas of action are more limited, meaning that they should be restricted to internet browsing only.
