Campus Lo Contador, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile
Campus Lo Contador, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Historical monument and university campus in Providencia, Chile
The double-height timber building stands on a concrete base, featuring a 21-meter span between supports and a 9-meter corbel on its west side.
The Lo Contador estate originated in the 18th century when Francisco Antonio Avaria purchased properties between Cerro San Cristobal and Mapocho River for his niece Mercedes Contador.
The campus integrates a colonial adobe house with modern educational facilities, serving as home to the College of Architecture, Design and Urban Studies since 1958.
Located at 1916 El Comendador street, the campus houses faculty offices, an auditorium, and communal spaces for students and staff of the Pontificia Universidad Católica.
During the War of the Pacific, the colonial house transformed into a hospital for recovering patients before becoming an educational institution.
