history
It was founded in 1997 by the South Tyrolean provincial government with two faculties (economics in Bolzano and educational science in Brixen). In 1998 the library of the Free University of Bolzano was opened. The Faculties of Computer Science and Design and Arts followed. The last faculty was founded in 2007 with the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Technology.
The inner-city university buildings in Bozen were designed by the Zurich architects Matthias Bischoff and Roberto Azzola, who won an international architecture competition. The Brixen location was also built in 2004 as the result of an international award based on a design by the Stuttgart architects Regina Kohlmayer and Jens Oberst.
