The Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education, Santa Fe Campus (in Spanish: Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, Campus Santa Fe) commonly shortened as Tecnológico de Monterrey, Campus Santa Fe, ITESM Campus Santa Fe or Tec Santa Fe, is a campus of the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education private university system in Santa Fe, Mexico City, Mexico. It provides professional studies as well as high school programs. International programs are also available. The campus features modern architecture by the renowned Ricardo Legorreta, having more than 30,000 square meters of construction, with more than 3,000 students.
The idea to build the 30th campus was formulated in 1997, but the terrain wasn't acquired until 1999. Construction began on March 19, 2001. On October 22, 2001, the first students started moving from the Mexico City Campus to the Santa Fe Campus, along with new students. By the end of its first year, the Campus Santa Fe had already 1150 alumni, along with relationships with 35 of Santa Fe's enterprises. There were already many Student Associations and cultural groups.
Along with 2003 came a new head for the Campus, Lic. Salvador Eduardo Garza Boardman, who had worked for the ITESM system for more than 10 years. In March, 2003, the construction for the preparatory building began. In 2004, the Santa Fe campus won the first place in its group when the quality of technological infrastructure was measured among all campuses. A treaty was signed with IBM for collaborative research on the areas of Computing, electronics and business. The ITESM and HP announced the inauguration of the TEC Discovery Center. The business incubator was founded and on October 2003, the International Entrepreneurs Congress was held with 600 people.
The first Literary Creation and Expression of Movement Contest was held. The Food Bank was created to hold food supplies in order to help the community. During June, the preparatory building was inaugurated. Dr. Julio E. Rubio replaced Salvador Garza as the head of the campus.
