The faculty's new building, which is the project of Peračić and Šilje, officially opened in April 2016. The architects will present all stages of its development, from the context, initial ideas, restricitions of the terrain, adjustments to the final realisation.

In March 2017 together with the magazine Oris (issue 103), a new edition called Oris+ saw the light of day. The first issue of the edition Oris+ is dedicated in its entireity to the Faculty of Civil Engineering in Osijek. In the text titled The Spatial Fissure, architect Hildegard Auf-Franić summarizes the values of the project in question by stating the following:

The Faculty building also conveys a message: the synthesis of design in the context of the enviroment, evaluation of the existing state, valorisation of archeology and conservator's guidelines and, finally, the architectural thesis – idea and the selection of the construction have resulted in a valuable authorial project.
