SASNOVA currently has three Halls of Residence for students, teachers and researchers of the University, with a total of 460 beds. Priority is given to Portuguese scholarship students and foreign students on exchange programs.
Within the scope of the funds obtained through the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR), the NOVA University of Lisbon began a period of renovation of its university residences, with a view to improving and modernizing these spaces, providing students with comfortable and accessible accommodation options in the economic point of view. This reformulation will be phased. In the first phase, works began on the Fraústo da Silva Residence (on the Caparica Campus, Almada) and the Lumiar Residence. During the construction period, the Alfredo de Sousa Residence (on the Campolide Campus) will remain in operation to accommodate, preferably, scholarship students and refugees. Partnerships and protocols were established with other organizations to respond to accommodation needs.
Operation
SASNOVA’s Halls of Residence have their own regulations. These include acceptance conditions, use of equipment, internal discipline, and student participation in managing, conserving and cleaning the Halls.
SASNOVA is committed to helping disabled students, so as to promote their independence and inclusion into this academic context. Alfredo de Sousa Halls and Fraústo da Silva Halls each have two single rooms with a private bathroom that are equipped for disabled students.

EcoNOVA Campaign 2014
Year after year utilities expenses keep on rising and it is increasingly important, not only due to budget issues, but also for environmental reasons, that all of us change our habits to ensure a conscious and responsible use of these resources.
At home we tend to avoid leaving the lights on, leaving the tap running for long periods of time and we take quick showers. We think that these small gestures should also be practiced as often as possible at the residences and multiplied by hundreds of residents. We must not ignore this effort!
WE BELIEVE THAT SMALL ACTIONS
MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE
The campaign’s previous year results show that savings were significant, but only in the period immediately following the campaign. This decreasing in costs made us very pleased. However the annual costs with water, electricity and gas have risen.
Still, it was possible to purchase new equipment for residences (freezers, microwaves, mattresses) and thus improve these important spaces!
But there is still much to do. So, once again, we challenge you to help us improve our smart spending. Every Euro saved in wasted water, electricity and gas can be invested in comfort.
Your participation in this initiative is crucial! We count on you!
