[1] Located in the city of La Plata near Buenos Aires the Conservatory is based in the Palacio Servente, designed by the architect Reynaldo Olivieri for Sociedad Femenil Italiana (the Italian Women's Society) as an orphanage.
In 1999 the orphanage closed after 65 years because it failed to meet the requirements of United Nations' international Convention on the Rights of the Child.
[2] The restored building is on three floors with forty classrooms, a 150-seat auditorium, a recording studio, a sound laboratory, an orchestra hall, a library, a reading room, and a cafeteria.
The ground floor is the main access level with a chapel converted for the performance of chamber music, the cafeteria, two recital rooms, the library, more classrooms and the audiovisual studio.
The upper floor houses the auditorium, the sound laboratory (equipped with computers, synthesizer and digital piano), recording studio, multimedia control room, more offices, a kitchen, a hall for the wind and strings orchestras, access to the terrace, and six classrooms.
