The University City was built in the early 1950s. The campus was adapted from a student design by the architects Mario Pani and Enrique del Moral. The campus includes a tremendous number of important sites and buildings. More than 40 academic departments share space with the Olympic Stadium, an art museum and Cultural Center, a giant ecological reserve, the Central Library, and several museums. The ancient lava bed, "El Pedregal," now hosts the leading academic institution in Mexico City.
