The University of Barcelona is one of the first buildings to be arranged in the plot designed by Cerdà. Its genesis, however, is older, because Rogent designed several projects for the University in different locations inside the old town that had to return from Cervera to Barcelona after Philip V took it from the city in retaliation for the events of 1714. The final configuration leaves a 130-metre façade on the Gran Via, asymmetrical with respect to Universitat Square, in the middle of two blocks of the Eixample (with a 220-metre front) that it does not fill. The building follows the tradition of the great European universities: two courtyards, one for Science and the one for Humanities, which are completely symmetrical and are separated by a central body with a very powerful marble staircase leading to a beautiful auditorium located above the lobby. The urbanisation of the area, which makes the building adapt to the Cerdà plot, was carried out in the 1930s by architects linked to the GATCPAC. On the short sides, facing Aribau and Balmes streets, there are a series of buildings that prevent the full view of the side façades. The building is built in neo-Romanesque style, with a sober, powerful, severe stone façade, built with beautifully preserved ashlars. The interior spaces are of great beauty and the cloisters still retain their original life and still house several schools linked to the current University of Barcelona. Visiting the building means seeing it through the eyes of today's students who, thanks to its flexibility, can continue to use it with the same freshness of the first day. The sequence of spaces formed by the access lobby, made of worked and exposed stone, and some interesting enough vaults that support the Auditorium and the staircase to access it, is particularly recommended. A visit to either of the two cloisters is also recommended.

Noucentista complex by Marcel·lí Coquillat located around a farmhouse from the 16th - 18th centuries. The farmhouse is a three-bay building with a double-sloped roof and ridge perpendicular to the façade with an added body at the back covered with a double slope and off-centre ridge. It has a ground floor, main floor and attic with a symmetrical composition of the openings. The portal, located in the centre, is vaulted and accessed via a five-step semicircular staircase. It is accompanied on both sides by two stone windows, the one on the right is molded and has a sill. On the first floor two molded stone windows open on each side with a central balcony covered with a small gabled roof and an almond-shaped sundial. In the attic you can see three openings of recent manufacture. To the right of the farmhouse, we can find the 19th century tower. It is a quadrangular building with a built-up roof. In the central part a square lookout tower stands with a roof on four sides and watchtowers at the top crowned with pinnacles. A glazed gallery of undulating shapes protrudes from the main facade, which is accessed by a staircase of eight semicircular steps. The roof constitutes the balcony of the first floor. On the east façade, a semicircular body protrudes, the roof of which serves as a balcony with a side opening. The rest of the openings combine rectangular and compound shapes. A rectangular body is attached to the rear façade which serves as a first-floor terrace. The wide wooden eaves crowned by an acroterium at the top of the ridge should be highlighted. To the left of the farmhouse there are the stables. It is a double building with a U-shaped front body with a ground floor covered on one side. On one of the sides a polygonal tower stands with a pavilion roof. In the centre, a large wooden door covered with a gabled roof gives way to an L-shaped rear body covered with gables with the ridge running parallel to the façade. In the north corner there is a second tower with similar characteristics to that of the previous body but with a circular plan. All these structures are located on a terrace delimited by masonry walls covered with stone and crowned by a balustrade of wavy shapes. The east side of the wall is crowned by a profusely decorated wrought iron trellis. In the north-eastern corner of the enclosure there is a viewpoint with a circular plan which is accessed by a staircase attached to the wall that takes the form of a curve. It is made with the same construction equipment as the fence, covered with a metal structure in the form of a pergola with a tiled roof placed in the form of scales. Outside the complex there is the chapel, which is part of a garden area. It is a single nave building with a gabled roof preceded by a large porch of lesser height and a gabled roof with a large central opening of a semi-circular arch and buttresses at the corners. At the back there is the apse, pentagonal in plan and lower in height with a composite roof. Can Bordoi is a farmhouse documented in the 13th century. It is mentioned in the 1553 census as "en Bordoy". The noucentista work is a commission from Josep Comas i Masferrer (1842 - 1908), a Catalan industrialist and politician, founder of the Monarch Liberal Circle, deputy and provincial senator for Barcelona and president of the Barcelona City Council. It is believed that the building was built by the architect Marcel·lí Coquillat, because there is a plan of an architectural element of the garden not built but signed by him. The whole set is of a stylistic homogeneity that suggests a single author.

The Faculty of Nautical Science is located in Pla de Palau, at the beginning of the Barceloneta district. It is an isolated building with a quadrangular floor plan, consisting of a large ground floor used for services and administration of the centre, two upper floors and a flat rooftop terrace. Each of the four façades has an entrance with a short flight of steps leading to large porticoes without pediments flanked by Tuscan columns. Above, the two floors have slight differences in volume, but these are not very noticeable, with large openings with balconies in the centre and balconies without overhangs on the sides. Some of the openings on the first floor have an undecorated pediment, while those on the first floor have no openings and a simple segmental arch. The areas without openings are occupied by plain pilasters, with capitals in the centre and fluted pilasters on the sides. The façades are crowned with a prominent eave and a stone balustrade above it. The roof of the building is flat, except for a glass lantern that opens onto the centre of the ground floor. At the ends of the side and rear façades, stone ashlar pilasters protruding from the façade plane rise above the roof balustrade and end with small temples with hemispherical cupolas, delimited by four triangular pediments. The interior has a free ground floor, generated by a central oval courtyard, illuminated by the large lantern, around which the rooms on the upper floors are organised. From the courtyard, on the south side, the staircase leads to a mezzanine gallery on each floor, which serves as a distribution space for the classrooms; a three-arched gallery with clear Italian echoes leads to the gallery on the first floor. Both on the ground floor and on the staircase there are polychrome leaded stained-glass windows of remarkable artistry. The one that presides over the staircase depicts a caravel with an angel in front of it and bears the date 1932, but not the signature of the artist. Occupied by anti-fascist militias during the Spanish Civil War, it was later the site of the Escuela de la Marina Mercante del Mediterráneo (Mediterranean Merchant Navy School). Between 1936 and 1939, the school had a training ship attached to it, the President Macià, which was the former Rosa VV yacht of the Count of Godó. Since 1990, it has been part of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), as the Barcelona Nautical Faculty.

Edifici religiós. Seminari de planta gairebé en forma de creu amb els braços més prims, la façana és orientada a migdia i presenta una mena d'atri format per arcuacions d'arc de mig punt a manera de porxo i coronat per un frontó triangular amb una creu al damunt. Consta de planta baixa i dos pisos, els quals són marcats horitzontalment per unes impostes, les obertures són rectangulars llevats del primer pis de la façana que són d'arc de mig punt. És cobert amb teula aràbiga a diverses vessants. Cal remarcar les torres de planta quadrada que s'eleven sobre els braços amples de l'edifici, són llanternes als ulls de l'escala, simètriques i amb arcades semicirculars al pis superior, són cobertes de forma piramidal. Està envoltat d'espais esportius i s'hi arriba a través d'un ampli espai enjardinat. L'estat de conservació és bo. Seminari que fou construït entre 1944 i 1947 amb l'església que fou inaugurada l'any 1963. Aquest seminari venia a substituir el del carrer Sant Just que havia quedat petit, és construí en l'eixample de la ciutat que es realitzà a principis de segle estenent-se cap a Santa Clara de la Vella fins al turó del Seminari. Actualment amb la minva vocació eclesiàstica el mateix edifici s'utilitzi com escola privada essent una extensió del col·legi de Sant Miquel dels Sants.

El projecte de les universitats laborals respon a la iniciativa de l’aleshores ministre de Treball, José Antonio Girón de Velasco, per tal de “formar, a més d’obrers tècnicament millors, homes de cap a peus, capacitats per a totes les conteses de la intel·ligència, ensinistrats per a les batalles de l’esperit...”. La primera que es va fer fou la de Gijón, i tot seguit es varen construir les de Sevilla i Tarragona. Per a aquesta darrera es van escollir dues finques anomenades mas de la Pineda i mas de Palau, que sumaven un total de 150 hectàrees situades a tres quilòmetres de Tarragona. La construcció resultant és el fruit de l’evolució de tres propostes, que parteixen d’una clara separació de les funcions en una organització general que recorda un enclavament urbà. La versió definitiva queda diferenciada en tres parts, que van anar a càrrec de cadascun dels arquitectes autors: els dormitoris i el menjador —units per galeries subterrànies—, les aules i els tallers. Aquesta disposició per parts clarament separades obeeix a la intenció d’estendre el conjunt i obligar els estudiants a recórrer certes distàncies entre les seves activitats, igual que en un emplaçament urbà.
