| Even
though the idea of a university in Calabria dates back to the fifties, almost
twenty years elapsed before the idea became a reality with a Parliament law in
1968. In that year the university founding charter was granted, while its statutes
were passed in 1971.  The
construction of the university campus started in 1972 and since then a continuous
and visible expansion of new buildings on the campus has been taking place.This university is one of the few examples of a residential university campus in Italy. For what concerns the university campus, its management and services, it is important to mention the “Centro Residenziale”, which provides accommodation and leisure facilities for students. In the residential area the Sports Centre, the Health Centre, and the Centre for Arts, Music and Performance are also located. Moreover there are a Centre for Radio and Television, the University Press, the Language Centre and several other interdepartmental centres. The University Library is among the biggest in the whole South of Italy.
