Temple Rome has opened its new location at Via di San Sebastianello, adjacent to the famous Spanish Steps, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and beloved travel destination.
Now in the heart of the “Trident” area in the city center—close to historic sites such as the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon and the Colosseum—the campus has become one of the most unique university locations in the world and serves as a special starting point for students to get immersed in Rome’s culture, art and history.
Its facilities include full disability access, state-of-the-art classrooms, a science lab, a conference center, a library, and open-air terraces and a courtyard for student life and events in addition to printmaking, papermaking, sculpture, photography, visual arts and architecture studios, and Temple Rome’s Gallery of Art. As of January 2025, the campus will also feature a 50-bed residence hall for first-year students.
To celebrate this monumental move, Temple Rome held two events on the university’s picturesque terrace under Piazza Trinità dei Monti. The first on Sept. 25 was for students, while the second on Sept. 26 featured a wider audience including university leadership, government officials, faculty, staff, friends and others.
Temple President Richard M. Englert, Provost Gregory N. Mandel and Temple Rome Dean and Vice Provost for Global Engagement Emilia Zankina spoke at the event, along with President of Municipio Roma I Lorenza Bonaccorsi and Cultural Attaché, U.S. Embassy in Rome Karen Schinnerer.
