It was presented in 2000 with a massive attendance in Merlo, Ituzaingó, Marcos Paz, and Gral. Las Heras.

In 2007 the project was updated and a necessary document was added: the Feasibility Study, which justifies and justifies the need for a national university in the region. Adherence actions multiplied and the project's presence in the community was permanent.
