The decision funds equipment and installation at the Rio campus under approved studies. The announcement does not certify completed works.
A decision by Education Minister Sofia Zacharaki provides €1,699,705.20 for fire protection in 13 University of Patras buildings, the ministry announced on November 11. The interventions concern the university’s Rio campus.
Plans include supply and installation of fire detection systems, smoke detectors, alarm call points, emergency lighting, escape signage and firefighting equipment. Passive protection measures include fire-resistant doors and other means of limiting fire spread.
The ministry says the interventions follow Fire Service guidance and approved active and passive fire protection studies. They concern classrooms, laboratories and lecture theatres used by students and staff.
Funding comes under the Education Ministry’s 2026–2030 Sectoral Development Programme, using National Development Programme resources. This is a funded intervention; the announcement does not establish that the systems have already been installed or the project completed. No specific handover date is given.
