Medellin, Colombia - ICOLVEN --> UNAC

When we lived in Medellin in the late 60's/early 70´s, my parents worked at the Seventh-day Adventist school - ¨Instituto Colombo Venezolano.¨  But things always change.  During our visit, I saw it called both ¨Corporación Universitaria Adventista¨ and ¨Universidad Adventista de Colombia.¨

The entrance.

Just to the left of the entrance.

Walking up the main road into the school.

The women´s dorm then and now.

In front of the girl´s dorm.  There is a lot more landscaping and tress than there was...

Looking back toward the entrance from in front of the girl´s dorm.  Note the tall apartment buildings...

Back then this was two stories and held administration and classrooms.  Now it is some admin and the library.

Boy´s dorm then and now.  And, the soccer field now and then.

From in front of the boy´s dorm, this is looking toward the elementary school that Louie & Brenda went to. It is still there.

Looking back at the entrance.  These palm trees were not here when we were.

The auditorium is no longer the church, but it is pretty much the same and is still used for various meetings.

The front entrance is definitely different now.

Around the circle in front of the auditorium they now have several bushes with words carved in them.

The side of the auditorium.

The inside of the auditorium.  They are in the middle of a renovation.

Looking from the auditorium back to the main road.  I believe this used to be a dirt road.

Next to the elementary school (opposite side of the auditorium) is now a building that houses the university´s classrooms.

This is looking up at the hill behind the school, where there is still a farm with cows, etc.

 I have a LOT more pictures of the campus and a few movies.  Since the movies seemed to take years to load or often wouldn´t load, I will wait to show you those until I am home....  Meanwhile, I hope this gives you a nice taste of what things look like now.

The entrance on Sabbath morning.
