Some of these palaces are historical palaces of the city of Genoa, known as the "Palazzi dei Rolli": Palazzo Balbi Cattaneo (Balbi 2), Palazzo Balbi Senarega (Balbi 4), Palazzo Balbi Raggio (Balbi 6) (for a description of the historical palaces see the University web page at the link https://unige.it/ateneo/patrimoniostorico-artistico-universita-genova).

It also makes use, especially in the case of courses attended by a large number of students, of the classrooms located in the other sites of the so-called "Balbi Pole": Albergo dei Poveri, Darsena, Polo didattico delle Fontane.
