In the year of the city's tricentennial, the UNR will continue to restore its historic buildings, a heritage site for all of Rosario.

It's worth remembering that for four years, the UNR has been promoting a program to enhance its heritage, restoring traditional buildings and spaces in the city where public university programs are currently offered. 

Within this framework, the façade and central courtyard of the Faculty of Humanities and Arts, the old Gorban Hall of Economics, the Health Department Library, and the central façade of the Faculty of Exact Sciences, Engineering, and Surveying were completely renovated. The former Palace of Justice, currently the building of the Faculty of Law, is currently being restored to its original state. "The Law Faculty, a massive undertaking that we painstakingly supported with our own budget, will be completed this semester, with an investment of more than 2000 billion pesos. Half of the building will be restored, returning it to its original state. Once finished, we will begin work on the façade and back of the Medical Sciences Faculty, which is severely deteriorated, and on the Economics Faculty, which has also suffered over time."

Este año, el del tricentenario de la ciudad, será el turno de Ciencias Médicas y Ciencias Económicas, dos edificios muy tradicionales a los que hace mucho tiempo que
