The latest addition to the IMT Campus is the Residence in Via Brunero Paoli (with an indoor surface of 2,468 m2), unveiled on July 6 th 2023. The building was granted by Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Lucca to IMT School on gratuitous loan on February 1 st 2023, after a magnificent refurbishment co-funded by the Italian Ministry of University and Research which helped extend the regeneration of the eastern part of the town, where all of the IMT Campus is located. The Residence includes 100 beds for the IMT students, 3 kitchens, 6 study halls and a few leisure and relaxation areas. The vast inner garden includes a bike parking area and a multipurpose space for resident students. The Reception is at the main entrance in Via Brunero Paoli, 31 and is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Students who have been granted a place in the Residence must use their official badges (a magnetic ID card) to enter. On the ground floor, the students have a small luggage room where they can leave their personal belongings when they have to leave the Halls to study or do research off site.
