Abad Oliva University was formerly a boarding school for young ladies run by nuns. Specifically the "Oblate Reverends of the Most Holy Redeemer". I was there for a year interned (specifically the 8th year of EGB years 1974-75). What is now the Aula Magna was the church, what are now the classrooms, the bedrooms and the courtyard for what I see, had at the time the same configuration ... The building was built by the son of the architect Martorell, the same that did the Palacio del Sobrellano in Comillas (Cantabria) and that collaborated with the hiring of Gaudi for the execution of the Sagrada Familia.
The building is very nice records, not so much ...
