The Future of Higher Education: Universidad de la Libertad and Humanitree School
Universidad de la Libertad and Humanitree School Hive and Flight were officially opened on the 4th of September 2023 by Ricardo B. Salinas Pliego and María Laura Medina de Salinas. Universidad de la Libertad in Mexico City is a new university set to redefine higher. The middle school, Hive, and high school, Flight, students from the Humanitree School are located in the same building, offered a glimpse of higher education and invited to envision their future learning path.
Rosan Bosch Studio has reimagined the traditional office building in the Miguel Hidalgo district of Mexico City and transformed it into a state-of-the-art learning ecosystem. Eschewing the original building's conventional layout, the studio has designed an awe-inspiring inner space spanning 3 floors, the Nucleo de la Luz (the core of light), serving as an inspirational space where users, staff, and guests can converge and exchange innovative ideas during events or informal, unplanned encounters.
The new university was founded by Ricardo B. Salinas Pliego, founder and chairman of Grupo Salinas, and developed in partnership with Minerva University, a renowned Silicon Valley-based education innovator. Other educational partners comprise Southwestern University and UFM Universidad Francisco Marroquín.
The first class of students has been enrolled in a flexible and personalized program based on a phygital approach that takes the best of face-to-face and digital interaction to create immersive learning experiences.
Rosan Bosch Studio has been the lead architect and designer and collaborated with, among others, C Cúbica Arquitectos in the execution phase.
