Located in the municipality of Rionegro, the centre has an extension of 16,000 square metres, with 2,000 metres built. It is the second largest centre in terms of infrastructure, physical space and laboratories.  Since 1973 this centre has offered programs of higher education as a strategy of pioneering educational decentralization in Antioquia.
