Expected and claimed by many, the Social single building finally takes shape. Sergio Dean Caletti yesterday presented the second stage of the work of the building in Santiago del Estero to 1000 and announced the tender for the last phase project, which promises to hold races there all the faculty. In the meantime, Communication and Political Science and moved its headquarters to the former factory and joined Terrabusi Social Work and graduate, they already were. "We hope that this can improve the course of different careers," Caletti.
After commercials, toured the site Página/12 Constitution where more than 10 thousand students will attend from next month and could check the building improvements over the crumbling headquarters and Marcelo T. Ramos Mejía de Alvear.
With the opening of yesterday were equipped 60 classrooms, all freshly painted and natural light. (Some of them were taking the exams in February.) The only planned to be deliberately rooms were dark underground, where studios operate audio and video editing. Each classroom now has an individual heating system and air conditioning.
The star of the new building is the auditorium. Radiant yellow, and up to 630 people, the faculty hopes to avoid turning it into classroom-as happened with some of the theorists who taught at Ramos-and use it instead as a reception hall.
These changes become more tangible if you look out the window on the second floor which gives the party are not recycled from the factory, and compares it with the parts faced so far. In total, this second phase involved an investment of nearly 24 million pesos, from the Ministry of Federal Planning.
Now subtract the third and final stage, which begins in May. This final section divirá into two parts: first, end with the space for classrooms and dining room, and then will face fourth-floor building, offices and library. In total there will be nearly 33 million square feet, including patios, terraces and parking. The most optimistic talk of moving the next year Sociology and Industrial Relations Labour. Thus, the 24 000 active students share the power, finally, a single seat.
Social The unique building is a long demand of the educational community that dates back to 1997, when it opened the headquarters of Centennial Park. The original intention was to relocate the races were teaching at Marcelo T., "but Social exponential growth, especially in communication studies and Labor Relations, made the building more than boy stay," said Caletti.
In this context the project began moving into the street Santiago del Estero, and in March 2003 the Supreme Council of the UBA decided to buy the former factory Terrabusi. Attempts to complete the work as soon as they encountered technical labyrinths and student conflicts, such as decision last year that lasted more than a month and a half. "It was a very long history, it would have been shorter," he admitted Caletti, now he was confident that the new building "a longer reach us."
