That is how the building works of the University Campus began on the outskirts of the downtown area, on Route 36. Then a new stage began: dismantling, requesting the bank line, the altimetric survey of the land, perimeter fencing and getting to the field electricity, telephone and provide water. The construction of the entrance and a checkpoint for surveillance was carried out, the flagpole and the flag were inaugurated, both donated by the Rural Society of Río Cuarto and the flag of ceremonies by the CGT of Río Cuarto.
