Instituto Politécnico Superior (Rosario)

The Instituto Politécnico Superior main building is located near the beginning of Pellegrini Avenue, in the southeastern border of the city center, besides the UNR's Faculty of Engineering.

The city of Rosario, located on the banks of the Paraná River and in the south of the province of Santa Fe, as well as its area of influence, lacked a large industrial development and the population, still dedicated almost exclusively to commercial activities and agricultural-livestock, was originally reluctant to the change that was proposed with the creation of the school.

From that moment on, the Industrial School became, in fact, the institution that prepared, through its middle cycle, future entrants to the university careers of said Faculty.

Consequently, this gradual industrial development brought about a considerable increase in the number of graduates who were not pursuing university studies, but were devoting themselves fully to the labor field, with high professional qualifications.

[2] On March 19 of that year, the School was renamed the “General San Martín” Polytechnic Institute of Rosario, a name that was more in line with the new functions and objectives.
