One of the buildings (Building Α), of around 6.606,43 m2, houses the Department’s Secretariat, some of the Faculty members’ offices and workplaces for both undergraduate and postgraduate students. However, its largest part is covered from students’ teaching sites. These teaching sites consist of seven classrooms, with a capacity of up to 60 people, all of them fully equipped with the necessary optoelectronics material and other electronic equipment. Four of them are constructed in a way that allows a pair of classrooms to be consolidated in order to form a larger one with a capacity of up to 120 people.
