On December 30, 2020, the Jan Długosz University of Humanities and Sciences in Częstochowa, in cooperation with the Częstochowa branch of the Association of Polish Architects, announced an open, one-stage and implementation competition for the design of a new building - the Didactic Center for Medical and Health Sciences.
Planned to be located on Chłopickiego Street in Częstochowa, the new edifice of the Didactic Center will house, among other things, lecture halls, chemical laboratories, offices for researchers, and study and recreation areas for students.
