In the environment of the university, Sert designed several buildings that are part of his most representative works and which reflect the Mediterranean atmosphere that he preserved in his designs throughout his professional life. Another notable building by the same architect, of much less importance but closer to his place of origin, is the CEIP Los Conventos school in Martorell, completed before the Spanish Civil War, although he did not finish it due to the war, and therefore is not credited as the architect of that building.
