History

• The university opened in 1886, driven by a Basque demand for a university of its own and by the wish of the Society of Jesus to move its school of higher studies from Laguardia, in Álava, to a more central place in the industrialising Nervión valley.该校于 1886 年开学，动因有二：巴斯克地区渴望拥有自己的大学，耶稣会则希望把位于阿拉瓦省拉瓜尔迪亚的高等研究学校迁往正在工业化的内维翁河谷更居中的地点。
• The Bilbao building was designed by the architect Francisco de Cubas, Marquis of Cubas, and was the largest building in the city at the time, standing in the Deusto district that gave the university its name.毕尔巴鄂校舍由建筑师弗朗西斯科·德·古巴斯（库巴斯侯爵）设计，是当时该市最大的建筑，坐落在赋予学校名称的德乌斯托区。
• That main building now faces the Guggenheim Museum, designed by Frank Gehry and opened in 1997 on the Nervión, and the university library was created in the same year as the university, in 1886.这座主楼如今正对由弗兰克·盖里设计、1997 年在内维翁河畔落成的古根海姆美术馆；大学图书馆也与学校同年创设，时为 1886 年。
