Transformación regional a través de la educación. Estudio de prefactibilidad sobre la construcción de una ciudadela universitaria, sede Magdalena Centro de la Universidad de Caldas, Guarinocito corregimiento de la Dorada, caldas, Colombia

The main objective of this degree work is to carry out a pre-feasibility study for the construction of a university campus that will function as the Magdalena Centro campus of the University of Caldas, located in the town of Guarinocito, municipality of La Dorada, Colombia. This project is part of the institutional commitment of the University of Caldas to reduce the gap in access to higher education between rural and urban areas of the country, in accordance with its regionalization policy and the guidelines established in the 2022-2026 National Development Plan (Urrego et al., 2023). To determine the comprehensive viability of the project, the MGA and ONUDI Methodologyies will be applied, which will allow for an exhaustive analysis of the technical, financial, social, and environmental aspects. The study will include a detailed characterization of the property, the identification of educational infrastructure requirements, the estimation of the potential student demand, the projection of associated costs, the evaluation of expected impacts, and the review of relevant legal requirements. The research is based on the need to provide solid and reliable information to support strategic decision-making by the actors involved. The results obtained will lay the foundations for promoting a profound and sustainable regional transformation by strengthening higher education in the region. It is expected that this pre-feasibility study will constitute a significant contribution to the field of educational project management and regional development, serving as a reference for future similar initiatives in the Colombian context.
