In 1930 the architect Jenaro de la Fuente Álvarez (1891-1963) from Vigo drew up the final project for the Students Hall of Residence, which had begun to take shape in 1919. This project envisaged five pavilions, four on the sides, intended to be used as Residential Colleges, and a central one for general services.
The Civil War, first, and budgetary difficulties later, caused the project to vary ostensibly, in addition to delaying its construction. The initial set of five pavilions was reduced to three, and the central one was transformed into another Residential College, the current Fonseca. Its construction was later than that of the other two; it was inaugurated in 1963. Like the other Residential Colleges, the Fonseca Residential College seeks to offer its residents not only the possibility of accommodation, but also to carry out a series of activities that serve to promote and complete their scientific, cultural and sports education.
Today's residential college combines a noble tradition with modern facilities and a privileged location in the heart of the Life Campus.
