The Higher Institute of Accounting and Administration (ISCA-UA) is one of the oldest academic units of the University of Aveiro, playing a central role in the institution’s evolution toward multidisciplinary education. Although ISCA-UA was founded in 1976, shortly after the university’s creation, its current facilities reflect the architectural growth and formal structuring that followed the university’s early urban planning phases.

Situated within Campus Santiago, ISCA-UA blends into the broader ensemble of academic buildings shaped by the original vision of integration and continuity between architecture, landscape, and urban context. The building supports a wide range of educational programs in accounting, management, and administration, contributing to the university’s strong connection with the business and economic sectors of the region. Its design emphasizes functionality, modular organization, and accessibility, in line with the pedagogical and institutional goals of the University of Aveiro.
