Arturo Alessandri Rodríguez Faculty Room

The Faculty Room is an emblematic place of the patrimonial building. It is the venue for a variety of academic and administrative activities, since it serves as a meeting place for the Faculty Council and the School Council of the Faculty. Both instances are part of the university government, which is constituted by collegiate authorities, composed of academics elected by their peers, together with the Dean and his team, which is the unipersonal authority that directs the Faculty in four-year periods.

Another function of this space is the taking of licensure exams, the holding of academic meetings and seminars, among others. The distinctive feature of the space is the collection of paintings of former deans donated by their families upon their death. In the central arrangement is Andrés Bello, first rector of the Universidad de Chile and the most important jurist in the history of Chile, in the company of deans Mariana Egaña and Canon Juan Francisco Meneses, first and second in office, respectively.
