The IISL will soon begin an exciting new chapter. Starting in January 2026, the Sancti Spiritus building will undergo major renovation works. For one year we will relocate to the Provincial Archives of Gipuzkoa, just a short five-minute walk from the old university.
Our commitment to offering the full Oñati experience remains unchanged. All our core programmes will continue as usual: the Workshops, the Master’s Programme, our Library services, the Visiting Scholars Programme, Publications, Grants, and the newly launched 2026 Research Lines.
Visitors will continue to be accommodated at the Antia Hall of Residence, and library users will still be able to request, consult, and borrow books from our collection. If you plan to visit us as a Visiting Scholar, a Residence Grant awardee, or simply as a Library user, you will receive detailed information as soon as you complete the relevant visit or user form. We will keep updating this page as needed, so we recommend that you keep it at hand.
We invite you to accompany us throughout this year and to continue enjoying the unique “Oñati experience” in this beautiful space!
The building is located at these distances:
-
from the Antia Residence – 700 meters
-
from the building of the IISL (Old University) – 280 meters
Library
While the Institute is housed in the Historical Archives building, the library consultation service will operate from 08:00 to 15:00. Users may access the collection in the consultation room known as 'Selma Huxley Gela', which is located directly opposite the building’s main entrance. Prior request may be required to ensure availability of materials.
