History

UTN is one of the 24 regional faculties of the National Technological University of Argentina, and was created on 24 September 1954. In the beginning it occupied the Mary O'Graham buildings, and later the building of the Colegio Nacional.

On 1 October 1961, the national government signed the Nº 9035 decree, which designated an official location for the University. This decree stated that the University was to be located on the corner of 60th avenue and 124th street, in the city of La Plata. But it was not until 1966 that the building was inaugurated with help from the government of the Buenos Aires Province.
