The Buenos Aires Institute of Technology (ITBA) commissioned the MSGSSV Studio to design a new campus in Núñez. It will concentrate the university’s activity in a single location, with a flexible, integrated, and transparent infrastructure.
The prestigious university will gather all its activities in Núñez. The new building, designed by MSGSSV with interior design by MIA Works, will be financed by the sale of the historic Av. Madero campus.
The Buenos Aires Institute of Technology (ITBA) acquired three plots of land in the Innovation Park, in the Núñez neighborhood, to join what it defines as “a unique science and technology ecosystem in Argentina,” where it plans to play a leading role. Currently, the university operates across three locations: two in the Technology District of Parque Patricios and one in the Microcentro.
“For some time, ITBA was in a process of searching for sites for its future campus. Finally, the possibility arose to locate in the Innovation Park, an area that promotes the development of ventures for educational, scientific research, and innovation purposes. That is how it acquired three plots totaling 4,800 square meters, surrounded by green spaces,” details the rector of ITBA, Eng. Andrés B. Agres.
