IBE employs more than one hundred and thirty people, distributed among the neighboring buildings of the
Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB) and the
Mediterranean Center for Marine and Environmental Research (CMIMA). Currently, IBE is in the process of moving to a new campus at the Mercat del Peix, an innovation complex, focused on biomedicine, biodiversity, and planetary well-being, which will be located next to the UPF Ciutadella campus and the Ciutadella Park. The Mercat del Peix project will involve the construction of three new buildings, which will house the Institute of Evolutionary Biology (IBE), the
Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology (BIST) and a new complex at the
Pompeu Fabra University (UPF). These will be built on the area of 7,500 square meters that is currently a car park and which was, until the middle of the 20th century, the central fish market of Barcelona (Mercat del Peix). The works will begin in April 2022 and the first researchers will begin to work at the center in the first half of 2025. The project is promoted by the
City Council of Barcelona and UPF, with the participation of two strategic partners, the
Spanish National Research Council and BIST. ==Notable faculty==
