Since then the rectory building is named the José de Diego building in honor of the campus's founder.[5]

Architecture

[edit]

Although its constructive aesthetics presents a great eclecticism, is important to indicate the entrance of the great facade.[3] Follow the steps of the central staircase regular service, stand two columns - "dístilo" smooth shaft and reduced éntasis, with its pedestal, “basa”, toscano-romano capital marked “astragalo”.[3] This is the most estimable attention to aesthetic impact section. On the two abacus terminals holds a short frieze with the inscription in English the name of the school. Below is the date with the year 1916.[3]

The construction is of two floors and irregular masonry.[3] It consists of two large horizontal lateral "masses" and a central rectangular.[3] In the middle section rises the Tower surrounded by balustrades and four campaniformes floreados pinnacles below of the cantilever roof supported by plates; inside lies the "Carillon" service, with external exits to their respective clocks.[3] The turret is covered with a coverage to four aspects; its Center highlights a "chapitelillo" tip.[3] The structure has many openings in administrative functionalism and was made at a time in which there was no air conditioning.[3] The structure began to be constructed in 1913 as a Sciences building.
