It is located between the new University of Deusto Library (Rafael Moneo), and the Iberdrola Tower by César Pelli, also responsible for the urban plan to kick start the heart of Bilbao, following the inauguration of the Guggenheim Bilbao Museum (Frank O. Gehry) .

The building contains an auditorium for about 400 people, offices of the University Rector’s Office, exhibition spaces and the headquarters of the Blas de Otero Foundation.
