It occupies an area of 40,000 m2 that is distributed on the ground floor, main floor and two upper floors, and has a museum, an art gallery, and a specialized library. Inside, in the assembly hall, a large oil painting by the artist Antonio González Moreno stands out, describing the inauguration ceremony of the University of Buenos Aires.
