Universidad de la República Building, University building in Montevideo, Uruguay

The Universidad de la República Building features a perimeter design with continuous interior galleries and two rectangular courtyards surrounded by Doric and Ionic arcades.

The building, designed by architect Juan María Aubriot, opened its doors on January 22, 1911, marking a milestone in Uruguayan public higher education.

The main auditorium, known as Paraninfo, holds 700 people and serves as a central venue for academic ceremonies and intellectual gatherings.

The central offices, rectorate, and Faculty of Law operate within this building, which stands between 18 de Julio Avenue and Eduardo Acevedo Street.

The building contains gray-plastered facades with ornamental details that reflect the historicist architectural style of nineteenth-century educational institutions.
