In 2007 the construction of the new university library began, located near the most important buildings of the institution. The project includes an ambitious and modern service for more than ten thousand students, who will be able to access one of the most modern and complete libraries in the region. Administration During its existence, the Playa Ancha University has belonged to the University of Chile, depending directly on the Faculty of Humanities and Letters of Santiago; and, after the 1968 University Reform, to the Valparaíso branch of the Casa de Bello, both as an Area-Faculty of Humanities, at first, and later as a Faculty of Education and Letters. This determined that its superior authorities were named Director, and later, Dean. As a consequence of the 1981 University Reform, it became an independent entity, either as the Higher Academy of Pedagogical Sciences of Valparaíso, or as the University of Playa Ancha. Here, its superior authority is called Rector.
