The new campus in Carcavelos (Municipality of Cascais) was inaugurated on September 29, 2018. The financing of the Carcavelos Campus project was made possible by corporate and individual donations. From 1978 (the year it was founded) until 1988, Nova SBE campus was in Campo Grande. After that, and until it moved to Carcavelos in September 2018, the School was housed in the 19th-century building of the former Jesuit College of Campolide.

The Carcavelos Campus

The campus project combines academic quality with the lifestyle that Portugal - especially the Lisbon and Cascais region – has to offer: safe, cozy, near the sea, and accessible, in a country with history and culture. Facing the sea next to the Carcavelos beach, with an area of more than 75,061 m², with low buildings and large open green spaces open to the community, the ideology of the campus is based on four pillars:

# Collaborative teaching — The space allows for the application of new teaching paradigms, focused on collaborative learning;
# Cozy and comfortable environment;
# Openness to the community among students, teachers, Alumni, companies, and neighbors;
# Nova Way of Life — which embodies academic rigor aimed at making an effective impact on the lives of individuals and organizations.

In April 2019 the Carcavelos Campus won the award for Best Real Estate Project of the Year and Best Collective Equipment at the 21st edition of the Real Estate National Awards.

The Fundraising Campaign

With the objective of financially supporting the construction of the new campus and the development of the school, a private fundraising campaign was launched in 2014 with the goal of raising 50 million euros, led by the Alfredo de Sousa Foundation. The foundation was created by four founders: the Cascais Municipality, Santander Totta Bank, Jerónimo Martins, the Soares dos Santos family, and is named after the founder of Nova SBE — in order to honor the vision and ambition he instilled in the school.

The campaign was supported by over 50 companies and around 2000 individual donors. This is a remarkable case of private fundraising for a public institution.

The school is proud of these contributions, which gave their name to some of the most impressive spaces of the campus, namely the:

* Cascais Academic Hall
* Teresa e Alexandre Soares dos Santos Library
* Santander Academic Hall
* Jerónimo Martins Grand Auditorium
* Ming C. Shu Executive Hall
* Fidelidade Seguros Plaza
* EDP Plaza
* Hovione Atrium
* CTT Student Hall
* Sagres Beach Way
* SUMOL+COMPAL Orchard
* Via Verde Parking
* Navigator Company Park
* Outsystems Square
*Westmont Hospitality Hall
*

There are other spaces, such as auditoriums, connection zones, classrooms, garden benches, among others, named after all of those who decided to contribute to the Nova SBE campus.

Nova SBE is involved in research projects, executive training programs, placement of students, and programs of innovation and digital transformation with all of the companies that contributed.
