Description

The Diputació de Barcelona was one of the driving forces behind the Escola Industrial site in Barcelona’s Eixample at the former site of the Can Batlló factory. During the years of the Commonwealth of Catalonia (1914-1923/1925), new impetus was given to the School as a whole with the construction of a series of facilities, such as the Labor, Nurses, Librarians, and the Institute of Applied Electricity and Mechanics, or the Meteorological Service of Catalonia. Over time, the site became an outstanding reference point for technical and industrial education that continues to this day.
