The Medellín Campus

​​Strolling around the main campus is a pleasant experience for the university community and visitors alike. The natural surroundings blend harmoniously with the physical structures and offer a connection with nature that is perceived through the senses.

​This speaks to the conception of EAFIT as a university that is seamlessly integrated into its natural environment and a place that attaches value to its flora and fauna. The university’s vision of harmony with nature, encapsulated under the name “University - Park,” earned it the 2008 Lápiz de Acero prize in the Public Spaces category.

This architectural transformation dates back to 2004 and the results are evident today: an environment conducive to study with new benches and tree-lined areas that provide habitat for the university’s 30 species of birds.

Contributing to the aesthetic beauty of the campus are works such as El Ágora, a sculpture by Hugo Zapata that transcends art and has become a campus meeting place; and sculptor Rony Vayda’s Los Propileos, which recalls the magnificent porticos used in Greek and Egyptian architecture.

The natural beauty of EAFIT’s main campus makes it not only a place dedicated to research and academics but also a “green lung” for the city that offers a different kind of educational experience, one in which the role of nature in the educational process, the quality of the work environment for faculty and employees and the memory of its alumni can be felt in every corner.
