The headquarters of the International Institute
Projects began for the building in 1904 and it was completed in 1911. Its design evokes that of the women's colleges on the East Coast of the US, both in its architectural aspect and in its conceptual formulation.
The project is signed by the prominent Spanish architect Joaquín Saldaña, known for being the creator of elegant mansions and stately homes in Madrid at the end of the XNUMXth century.
The building, with a surface area of 3500 m2, has five floors and stands out for its compositional clarity and functionality. It is developed with a "U" layout with three exterior corridors. The teaching and administrative activity is housed there. The classrooms and offices are connected to the interior by means of wide and luminous galleries that converge in the great central staircase.
The double staircase and the Auditorium, located on the main access axis, are illuminated from above and constitute the elements of highest architectural quality.
The set is completed with a large garden with access from inside the building or Miguel Ángel street. This garden is very suitable for organizing events.
In 1982 the building was declared a historic-artistic monument by Royal Decree due to the dignity of its construction and the nobility of its materials.
The building has 17 classrooms that are rented. There are also suitable spaces for organizing events: the auditorium, a conference room for 60 people and the garden.
