Catalan term or phrase: seu

La FUAB [Fundació UAB] encapçala un grup de diverses institucions i empreses que gestionen les noves seus universitàries i les iniciatives impulsades en col·laboració amb d’altres institucions i empreses privades, com els serveis urbans amb què s’ha dotat el campus de Bellaterra.

How would you translate it here? Offices? Centres? I've looked in the GREC and I can't see any definition that seems to fit. Is there some kind of Castillianism?

Explanation:
I'd go for a vague description, just like "seu" in Catalan. "University sites" fits the bill here.

headquarters / offices

Explanation:
It's definitely NOT "seu" like "el seu". Without seeing more of the text, though, it would be hard to know what they're referring to.

"university facultirs/headquarters/central offices"

Explanation:
If it refers to the university faculties I would use "university faculties". It could also refer to its headquarters. Then, I would choose "university headquarters" or "university central offices"
