The Barcelona City Council has acquired the former headquarters of the Gustavo Gili publishing house, located in the Eixample district, to create the new Barcelona Culture and Education Centre.
The acquisition cost the Barcelona City Council 9.5 million euros, financed with the 30-million-euro fund designed to facilitate buying or renovating buildings of interest to the city of Barcelona.
The building will house the offices of the Barcelona Institute of Culture (ICUB) and the Barcelona Municipal Institute of Education (IMEB), creating a single space for “technical, cultural and educational services, allowing for the joint design and implementation of projects and programmes.”
