The main building complex of the National University of Pedagogy is a monumental, yet compact structure surrounded by other heavy cultural institutions on all sides. The building complex (erected in 1978)  has incorporated several elements that might resemble pre-Hispanic Central Mexican architecture in its use of the space. All the buildings are connected with a labyrinth of bridges, stairways and patios surrounding the Central Patio which is frequently used as an open air auditorium for cultural and academic events. 

During the conference "Testimonial Texts: Stories, Live and Memories", the monumental Central Patio will be the location of art exhibitions by local and international artists, experimental theater performances and concerts. The Explanada Central offers several interesting spaces for exhibitions of all kinds. 

Exhibition area 1: The area in front of Auditorium C and D. 

Exhibition area 2: "The Art Passage" - "El Pasillo de Arte". (Length: 7.50m. Height: 2.50 m.)

Exhibition area 3: The area in front of the University Administration 

Exhibition area 4: "Los Arcos" - "The Arches" (uncovered - area for open air exhibition). Each of these arches has a size of 4,5 square meters. 

Exhibition area 5: The area in front of the Main University Library Gregorio Torres Quintero (uncovered - area for open air exhibition).

* The Lobby of the University Administration (Vestíbulo de la Rectoría). This area has an extension of 75 m2 of exhibition space but has few visitors and it will be closed on Sunday 4th (Exhibition area 6).
