School of Economics. Universidad de Buenos Aires., Faculty of the University of Buenos Aires
The School of Economics at the Universidad de Buenos Aires is a large educational complex located in the Balvanera neighborhood that houses classrooms, lecture halls, and research spaces. The main building sits on Avenida Córdoba facing Plaza Houssay, while a newer annex constructed in the early 2010s extends the facilities with modern laboratory and study areas.
The school was established in 1913 and began classes in 1914, making it an early center for economic education in South America. Its original building was a former medical facility constructed in 1908, which has been supplemented with new structures over the decades.
The school carries its history in its name and serves as a gathering place where people discuss Argentina's economic challenges and future. For many in the city, it represents a hub where economic ideas are debated and shaped into action.
The school is well connected by public transportation, with the nearest metro station at Facultad de Medicina on Line D and multiple bus lines serving the area. Its location on Avenida Córdoba in the city center makes it easy to navigate the campus and explore the surrounding streets.
The school occupies buildings that were originally designed for different purposes and later adapted for teaching, rather than having purpose-built structures from its founding. This adaptive reuse reflects how the university expanded by repurposing existing spaces to meet growing educational demands.
