Facilities

The Instituto Franklin offices and classrooms are located in the historical downtown of Alcalá de Henares, in the Trinitarios building, built in the first half of the 17th Century as a convent and University College for the Trinitarios Descalzos religious order.  In 1839 the Trinitarios College passed to the Spanish armed forces and became an Artillery Headquarters serving as a military command post.  Finally in 1994 the Universidad de Alcalá recovered it and restored it to its actual academic activities.

Today, Trinitarios College is completely renovated and surrounded by gardens and patios , conserving its original monastic structure with modern amenities. The building is spacious and full of natural light with its original structure. It has been adapted with ramps, elevators, and services to facilitate its use for handicapped people.

This exclusive building offers students all the facilities and modern technology necessary for study abroad programs. 

There are eight classrooms fully equipped, a computer lab, study areas and meeting rooms for professors and researchers.  There are also two libraries: The American Studies Library, unique to Spain, located in the basement, and the Cervantina Library located on the ground floor.
