This office and lifelong learning campus will have more offices, an academy, As there will be 15,000sqm (165,000 sqft) of student accommodation, part of the Edu Hub will be a “hybrid campus” for older learners/ corporate learners as well as doing online courses together with some supervision and shared facilities.”

Roman Stern, the co-owner and co-founder of the Edu Hub, says, “We have started building out the rest of the Hub, despite these tough times. There continues to be a big movement of capital, companies and families to Lisbon in these times because Portugal is a safe and secure place located at the edge of Western Europe with a great climate and we should ensure that we have everything ready to welcome these investors here”.
