The building has undergone several renovations over time, having three listed facades. Internally, the school ground floor and basement have a large communication central space and small interconnected spaces as well as outdoor patios for stays and lighting.

The headquarters changes are intended to differentiate spaces and uses of the Consultora and Escuela de Finanzas.

In classrooms, reception hall and corridors recessed LED luminaires have been used. Its light intensity works for the users to enjoy an excellent comfort lighting for their work.

At night, indoor courtyards take center stage and promote a visual expansion of the interior.
