Heritage

Escuela de Artes y Oficios (EAO)

The School of Arts and Crafts is a National Historical Monument since 1986. Its construction began in 1885 with a cost of 344,000 Chilean pesos in that moment. This figure meant 10% of the government’s education budget at that time.
 

 

 

Usach Stadium

In 1902, the government donated lands which were part of the Quinta Normal, to the School of Arts and Crafts. Today, the University’s Stadium and the north campus are located there.

 

Aula Magna

It was built between 1925 and 1930 within the School of Arts and Crafts. Although it was just thought as an event hall for 480 people, over time and after subsequent investments, it became one of the places with the best acoustics in Chile.
 

 

 

Planetarium

 It was built in the early 80's, with a design inspired by the Mayan pyramids. This building was in the vanguard and it was officially opened in March, 1986.

 

 

Matta’s "Living and facing the arrows"
