The Municipal Chamber of Coimbra is preparing the installation of the Instituto Superior Miguel Torga (ISMT) in two municipal buildings located in the Baixa of the city. The project aims to provide municipal spaces to host this higher education institution.
The ISMT is a higher education institution that offers courses in the areas of health and social sciences. Its installation in Baixa de Coimbra represents an investment in revitalizing the historic zone of the city.
The choice of municipal buildings to host the institute allows the municipality to take advantage of existing built heritage, simultaneously contributing to the revitalization of Baixa de Coimbra. This decision is part of a strategy to enhance the historic center through the installation of reference services and institutions.
The preparation process involves evaluating the conditions of the selected buildings to ensure they meet the necessary requirements to host the teaching and administrative activities of the ISMT.
