The urban space chosen for the final location favored the activity of the Residencia de Estudiantes that had begun in a rented small house on Fortuny St. In 1915, the Residencia was settled on the so-called “racetrack hills”, in five pavilions of brick Moorish style designed by architects Antonio Flórez and Francisco Javier Luque. In 1933, Carlos Arniches and Martin Domínguez constructed a building containing the auditorium and the library.
Juan Ramón Jiménez, who worked closely on the project from its inception, christened the new location as “The Poplars Hill”.
