The faculty has its seat on a Neoclassical building on Avenida Córdoba, one of the main thoroughfares of Buenos Aires. The building was designed by Francisco Tamburini in 1908, and originally also housed the Faculty of Medicine. The building faces Plaza Bernardo Houssay, opposite of which is the new seat of the Faculty of Medicine, the Hospital de Clínicas, and a number of other UBA dependencies.
