Fani Solís, National Director of Architecture and Engineering of Meduca, stated that the public act for the construction of the campuses began in August 2021 and that the first evaluation commission was established in November. She acknowledged that there were claims by two companies, but said that this is part of the process and must be respected by Meduca since it is established by law.
