Description • Architects: Mario Pani Darqui, Ricardo de Robina
• Main constructor: Ingenieros Civiles Asociados (ICA)
• Complex of 3 adjacent buildings with 15 floors. The original modern facade projected on 1957 was covered with marcolite panels, damaged on the 1979 earthquake was repaired and renovated on 1980, some years later was reinforced into their foundations but was damaged again on 85's earthquakes, the government consider their demolition but in 1986 was reinforced with big new columns & foundations.
• The elevators only open every three floors (3,6,9,12).
Info Warning: the source of building's heights says current are 39.9 meters tall, but that info is impossible for 15-16 floors (each level had at least 2.4m. free height but each retircular floor is at least 0.4 m. thick), main floor had more than 4.00 meters free height, and the height of machinery rooms at top makes impossible to consider precise his data.
