Overview

The Universidad Politécnica de Pachuca (UPP) is a public institution of higher and postgraduate education located in the municipality of Zempoala, in the State of Hidalgo, Mexico. It began activities on 21 September 2003 with a preparatory course held provisionally at the facilities of the Universidad Pedagógica Nacional, Pachuca campus. On 15 March 2004, its creation decree was published in the official state newspaper, establishing it as a "Decentralized Organism of the Public Administration of the State of Hidalgo." The state government ceded the facilities of the former Santa Bárbara hacienda, known as Rancho Luna, and in January 2004 classes began in the engineering programs of Mechatronics, Telematics, and Biotechnology. UPP's academic offerings include engineering degrees in Biomedical, Biotechnology, Financial, Automotive Mechanical, Mechatronics, Networks and Telecommunications, Systems and Industrial Technologies, Software, and Telematics; bachelor's degrees in Physical Therapy and Physician-Surgeon; specialties in Environmental Biotechnology, Mechatronics, and Computer Security; master's degrees in Biotechnology, Mechatronics, Information and Communication Technologies, and Finance and Management; and doctoral programs in Biotechnology and Advanced Sciences and Technologies. The university has a campus situated on the outskirts of Pachuca de Soto. The facilities are extensive and divided into two large areas: an academic unit and a sports unit. In the academic area, students have access to lecture halls, workshops, laboratories, libraries, and computer centers. In the sports center, they can engage in activities such as football, basketball, tennis, yoga, or karate. The Polideportivo Plata, also known as the National Sports Unit of the Polytechnic Universities "La Plata," is administered by UPP authorities. The venue had a total investment of 94,057,221 pesos divided into three stages, in which sports courts were rehabilitated and built, along with a sanitary module with septic tank, hydraulic and sanitary installations, and a main access portico. A parking lot was also built, lighting and electrical equipment were installed, and a swimming pool was added. The Polideportivo Plata features multi-use courts, basketball courts, tennis courts with synthetic grass, football fields, a synthetic athletic track, tatami, two parking lots, walkways, green areas, a sanitary module, and an Olympic swimming pool.
