Pontifical Catholic University of Chile

The Lo Contador Campus—where history, landscape, and geography meet the contemporary city—is home to the Faculty of Architecture, Design, and Urban Studies at the Catholic University of Chile.

 

Located in east-central Santiago, steps from San Cristóbal Hill in the Providencia district, the campus centers around a two-hundred-year-old colonial mansion and is surrounded by modern buildings, beautiful gardens, and vibrant courtyards.

 

This complex not only houses the Schools of Architecture and Design and the Institute of Urban Studies, but also a doctoral program, associated research centers, and key facilities such as a library, an archive, an art gallery, along with several workshops, laboratories, auditoriums, cafes, bookstores, and a daycare center.
