The Forteza Building is a historic building on Atocha Street, between Cristina and Isabel Streets, in front of Plaza Las Delicias in downtown Ponce, Puerto Rico. It lies within the Ponce Historic Zone and is home to the Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico School of Architecture.
Architect Segundo Cardona, FAIA, of SCF Architects designed the renovation and the adaptation of the building to its new use. The school opened its doors in August 2009. The project received a 2010 Honor Mention in the Built Project category from the American Institute of Architects Puerto Rico chapter.
The school's facilities were the result of a $14 million investment. About $4 million of it went to high-tech equipment, which the article says makes the school one of the most modern architecture schools in the Caribbean.
