Guide - Agraria UniPD
Welcome to the University of Padova
and to the Campus of Agripolis
The Faculty of Agricultural Sciences of the University of Padova was established in 1946
At first the Faculty provided for the degree in Agricultural Sciences but later, in 1968, the degree in
Forestry Sciences was added
In recent years the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences has become more and more aware that the use of
agricultural and forestry resources needs higher respect from environmental and human health point
of view. This consciousness has led to new teaching and research activities in the fields of
environment protection, and food quality and safety
At present the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences account for 2,700 students (undergraduate and
graduate), 90 PhD students and 30 researchers with scholarship; 80 professors and 35 researchers,
100 technicians and secretaries
In 1995 the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences moved in Legnaro, just a few miles away from Padova
downtown
The Campus includes the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine , the "Lucio Toniolo“ experimental farm, the
Regional Agency for Agriculture ("Veneto Agricoltura"), the Regional Institute for Animal Health and
Hygiene and many agricultural and student associations.

(Do not be afraid …. the Campus is not too wide and you will not risk
to lose the way!)
If you get here by bus or car you will be at the main entrance
Inserire foto dell’ingresso
If you look to your left, you will see two
buildings housing all the Departments,
Professors’ officies, scientific laboratories
and some facilities for graduating students;
At the moment it will be better not to enter
into the buildings because all the

these buildings
Lets then go towards the building at
your right called “Pentagono” for its
peculiar shape.
Registration office, main lecture room and microscope laboratory are housed on
the ground floor of the “Pentagono” building
On the first floor there are many lecture rooms, light full study rooms, laboratories of
Botany & Entomology and Chemistry.
“Pietro Arduino” library is on the third floor. This is where you will find your core texts, study for
exams, write essays or do some of your photocopying! If you are uncertain about using library
catalogues or certain software packages that you need for your studies, the library staff provide
written self-help guides as well as training, especially for Freshers. This floor houses three IT labs
available to students, here with open access and internet connection
Lets get back to the ground floor. Exit the building by the entrance next to registration office. Turn
left and walk keeping the crescent-shaped building of “Veneto Agricoltura” on your right. At the far
end of the path you will see the “Ca’ Gialla” building
On each floor of this building there are many
lecture rooms and study rooms. Moreover the
second floor houses the Dean’s office of the
Faculties of Agricultural Sciences and
Veterinary Medicine and the Tutor Junior
Office
But lets going on with order:
Before getting into the building you can
have a break at the Cafeteria where
students are used to take some snacks
during free time, after lunch or at the end
of the day when they order a “Spritz”, the
most famous aperitif in Padova
Soon after the break lets proceed with the tour:
Entering the building you will be in a big hall from which you can get to the Restaurant. Here you
can have cold and hot dishes and a wide selection of pizzas. A discounted price is provide to the
holder of the university badge
Some other lecture rooms are housed on the ground floor
too
First floor houses a small IT lab with open
access and internet connection
In the same room all courses study material is
available for photocopying
Six study rooms are on this floor too
The second floor houses the Dean’s office of the
Faculties of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary
Medicine and the Tutor Junior Office where a
student staff will assist you in everything you
need
The tour is at its end but if you like you can give a look at
the Agripolis apartment building right behind the Ca’ Gialla
building or going back to the Departments buildings you
have seen on your left when you have passed the main
entrance of the Campus
Be aware that you must know where you want to go
because Departments buildings are very huge buildings
Fingerpost placed at ground floor and at each floor of the
