Institute Institut Vila-seca
L’Institut Vila-seca participa per primera vegada a EN RESiDÈNCiA. Es tracta d’un centre públic d’ensenyament secundari creat l’any 1996 com a resultat del desdoblament de l’altre institut del municipi, l’Institut Ramon Barbat i Miracle, en un moment de creixement de població i de les seves necessitats educatives.
El centre destaca per una àmplia oferta d’optatives i per la seva sensibilitat envers les pràctiques artístiques, especialment a través de l’itinerari artístic de 4t d’ESO.
L’edifici, projectat pels arquitectes Jordi Cerdà i Jordi Bergadà, es caracteritza per la funcionalitat, la lluminositat i l’amplitud dels seus espais. Situat al Campus Educatiu i Esportiu de Vila-seca, comparteix entorn amb diversos equipaments educatius i esportius del municipi. La seva proximitat a equipaments com el Castell de Vila-seca, que acull mostres d'art contemporani, l'Auditori Josep Carreras i l'espai escènic Celler de Vila-seca, afavoreix la seva vinculació amb la vida cultural, formativa i comunitària de la població.
