University of The Andes (Colombia) - Campus

Campus

The university's campus is located in Bogota's historical centre, an area that houses most of the city’s buildings of cultural interest, universities, banks and large Colombian companies, the main offices of the national and local government, and a variety of cultural meeting places such as libraries, museums, theatres, scientific and literary centres, and art galleries.

The campus is largely made up of a mixture of remodelled industrial and religious buildings and newly constructed facilities. The infrastructure covers 142,316 sq mts. and includes approximately 116 classrooms, 219 laboratories, a central library and five satellite libraries (specialised by areas), where more than 409,700 books are available for students. It also has 26 computer rooms and six service units that hire out laptops, offering nearly 2,000 computers for student use (16.5 computers for each 100 students).

Also on campus are:

• Central cafeteria and nine other food stations inside and outside the campus.
• Gym and sports facilities.
• Health Services.
• Rest and study areas.
• ATMs.

In addition to the main campus, the University also has an Internships Center for the Medicine Faculty, located in the Fundación Santa Fe Hospital, in the north of the city. Uniandes and Fundación Santa Fe—one of the most renowned medical institutions in the country—engage in a joint academic venture.
