The campus marks this milestone with the opening of new spaces and a consolidated academic offering

IED Kunsthal Bilbao celebrates its 5th anniversary, establishing itself as a growing educational project and as one of the leading design education institutions in the Basque Country. Over these five years, the campus has strengthened its academic approach and identity, committed to an education closely connected to practice, creativity, and innovation.

This journey is accompanied by a continuous improvement of the school’s facilities, with the opening of new specialized workshops, including a printing and graphic techniques space, a prototyping workshop, a textile workshop, as well as a photography and artistic studio, all designed to support technical learning and experimentation.

With a forward-looking vision, IED Kunsthal Bilbao continues to develop its academic project as part of the Istituto Europeo di Design, which this year celebrates 60 years of experience in design education.
