The forecast is that the campus in Mafra will serve up to 1,400 students, integrating technical courses, higher courses, and vocational training courses.

The new unit is expected to increase access to professional and technological education in the region, bringing young people and workers closer to training related to market demands.

With the investment of R$ 25 million, the permanent structure of the campus will be implemented in stages throughout the construction.

In the meantime, the institution is preparing the initial offer of classes in a temporary building starting in 2026.

Expansion of the Federal Network in Santa Catarina and Brazil

When announcing the authorization for Mafra and Campos Novos, Minister Camilo Santana emphasized that the new campuses are part of the expansion of the Federal Network of Professional, Scientific, and Technological Education.

The plan foresees more than 100 new units throughout Brazil, with a total investment of R$ 2.5 billion from the New PAC.

In addition to the creation of new campuses, the federal government has also allocated R$ 1.4 billion to consolidate and expand the infrastructure of existing federal institutes.

These resources should prioritize student restaurants, libraries, sports courts, laboratories, and new classrooms, reinforcing services considered essential for the retention and success of students.

Construction Schedule and Start of Classes in 2026

According to the rector of IFC, Rudinei Kock Exterckoter, the construction sites are already being set up in areas designated for the new campuses.

The institution aims to start the first classes in 2026, in a temporary headquarters in Mafra, while the construction of the permanent headquarters moves forward.

The phased installation of the campus allows students to gain faster access to the Federal Network, while the complete structure is finalized.

The expectation is that, with the investment of R$ 25 million and support from the New PAC, Mafra consolidates its role on the map of professional education in Santa Catarina.
