It has not been designated as a green area. Furthermore, as belonging to a university and as a bequest the property is protected by the Greek constitution and Greek legislation; the university recently renovated its existing buildings. The surface of the surrounding grounds is 20 000 square metres, of which 670 square metres will be used for the construction of the university library, the only new building in the compound. The construction of the building has been officially approved by the Greek authorities following all necessary legal procedures, and is to be cofinanced by the Community in the framework of the operational programme for Attica; › the university has planted over 2 500 trees and plants and restored all traditional wells in the compound.
