The residence
Systemia S.r.l. owns the building and is the implementing party for the project, carried out under Ministerial Decree 481/2024 of the Italian Ministry of University and Research, with support from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan. Systemia has entrusted HOMA with the commercialisation of the residence's beds.
Unires Battiati is an exclusive residence in Sant'Agata Li Battiati, on the outskirts of Catania: a standalone three-storey building, 1,200 square metres designed for residents' comfort. Sixteen rooms, single and double, alongside carefully designed shared spaces — kitchen, study room, gym, TV room and green area — for student life without compromise.
The common areas are shared by the whole residence, not enclosed within individual flats.
The residence is in Piazza Elio Vittorini, in Sant'Agata Li Battiati, the town bordering Catania to the north.
