The Old Campus
The complex of University buildings extends over a whole block of the Old Town. Its original architecture attracts the visitor’s attention. The construction of the University buildings was carried on over the centuries under the changing influences of the Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Classical styles. The campus began to take shape in about 1570 in a city quarter belonging to the Bishop of Vilnius. By that time, the area had already been built up with brick houses. It later gradually expanded to the east and to the north, towards St.John’s church. Bounded by four streets , the campus is composed of 12 buildings, some of them having multiple structures, the Church of St.John, and the belfry. The buildings are arranged around 13 courtyards of different shape and size. At present the Rector’s Office, the Library, the Faculties of Philology, Philosophy, and History, as well as some interdisciplinary centers are situated in the old town.

University in the City

In the 60’s and 70’s neither the old campus nor the buildings scattered in the city could meet the University’s ever-growing needs, and in 1968 the construction of a new campus in Antakalnis began. At present the Faculties of Economics, Law, Physics and Communication, as well as the Computer Center are situated in Antakalnis campus.
