University Dental Clinic
The University Dentistry Clinic is the place where our Dentistry undergraduates and postgraduates undertake their practical training, under the strict supervision of the clinic's staff.
One of the great advantages is that it is part of the Health Sciences Building, and so students can undertake their theoretical and practical training in the same place – just by crossing the hall way.

Waiting areas for patients.

Veterinary Building
The Veterinary Building possesses both lecture halls and rooms for specialized seminars, with the latter being smaller as seminars take place in small groups for all courses. All the lecture halls have digital whiteboards, projectors and sound equipment. There are also two computer rooms and a microscopy room.
Furthermore, the building has group-work rooms for students and a break area, which often sees students working together with a coffee in hand. The lecturers’ offices are also to be found here, making it easy for students to contact them during their office hours.
Veterinary Clinical Hospital
Opened in 2017, CEU UCH's veterinary hospital, the Hospital Clínico Veterinario, is one of the few university hospitals which specializes in both small and large animals, especially horses. Veterinary Medicine students undertake practical training from the first year onwards, and the hospital is conveniently located just a five-minute walk away from the Faculty.
The facility covers 4000 m² over a single floor. There is a reception area with separate waiting rooms for cats, dogs and exotic animals. There are two main clinical areas: one for small animals, with eight specialist consulting rooms, a diagnostic imaging area (digital radiography, a CAT scanner, ultrasound equipment), two operating theatres and seven hospitalization suites; and another for large animals, which has three outpatient rooms, digital radiography, and three hospitalization suites.
The HCV also has two laboratories, dissection and necropsy rooms, study areas, and rooms for group work, presentations and special lectures.
Teaching and Research Farm
The CEU Veterinary Teaching and Research Farm possesses six different species for students’ practical training in handling, clinical care and reproduction. The farm is made up of the Main Building from which there is a wide covered walkway leading to the six Animal Units. Each Unit is independent from the others, with three on each side of the walkway, forming a “fishbone” shape.
Each of the Livestock Units consists of two modules, with one of them being set aside for examinations for that species and the other module being used to house the animals.
The farm is a fifteen-minute drive from campus, and a free shuttle bus service is provided to students to take them to and from their practical training sessions.

The buildings is home to the offices of the University’s senior management and members of the general services staff. It also has a canteen and a chapel.
Advanced Learning Facilities
The desire to recreate professional environments to facilitate learning has always been of the characteristic features of education at CEU. Being able to put theoretical learning into practice while still at the University really helps our students prepare themselves for real life in employment. But achieving this requires two things in particular:
- A focus on innovation in teaching: the desire to develop new forms of learning and of demonstrating achievement in learning.
- An ability to invest in in-house facilities: the infrastructure necessary to facilitate a truly practical education at university is costly, both to build and to maintain. Due to our status as an educational foundation, all the fees paid by our students are invested in our educational activities, enabling us to improve our Advanced Learning Facilities, year after year.
Palacio de Colomina
A place for knowledge, art and postgraduate training.
This building is a place where knowledge and art come together. It is designed for the hosting of public lectures and seminars, and it also has an exhibition space for paintings and multimedia installations.
On the first floor, you can find the spectacular skylight at the heart of the building, accompanied by the Oval Room and Board Room. On the second and top floor, there are lecture rooms used for a range of postgraduate programmes, helping us to expand our educational offering.

Sports Area
The University sporting facilities are a great place for students to meet friends and new people on campus. The values at the heart of sporting endeavours are the values that we aspire to right across university life: teamwork, camaraderie, generosity, and commitment.

Students can also play table tennis and pétanque. The Sports Service office and changing rooms are also located in this area.

Activities at the CEU Sports Area never stop throughout the academic year: there are countless internal competitions, instructor-led activities and events. It's a great place on campus to meet friends, make new ones, take part in your favourite sport, discover new sports, disconnect and take care of yourself.
Auditorium (Paraninfo)
Opened in 2019, the CEU UCH Auditorium (known as *el Paraninfo* in Spanish) is a striking building overlooking the square at the heart of the University’s Valencia Campus. The Auditorium has three entrances: the main entrance on the north side, for use by students and staff during large events; an entrance to the south-west, oriented towards the new Rectorate building; and another to the south-east, which connects with the village of Alfara del Patriarca and the Calle Mayor.
The CEU UCH Auditorium has more than 2100 m2 over two floors, with the arrangement and materials used varying across these two storeys. As well as those areas which benefit from the shade provided by the building, the ground floor also has a spacious entrance hall with large windows. The first floor houses the foyer, which can also double as a room for exhibitions or events, and this leads to the auditorium proper, which can seat 550 people.
