Abstract (English):	Introduction: Mobility is understood to mean the conditions that facilitate access to the campus through various modes of transport. The San Fernando campus is located in commune 19 in an area at the foot of the mountains. Its area is 36,595 m2 with 15 buildings and a green area of 20.6%, Objective: To determine the state of the environment at the San Fernando campus. Methodology: This was a descriptive observational study that used ethnographic and geo-referencing methodologies during 2012-13. Results: Three zones were noted that descend from the hillside, separated by roadways: the first area was composed of buildings 130, 132, 134,135; zone two was composed ofbuildings 118, 117, 116, 100, 122, 124, 126, 120, and zone three was made up of buildings 110, 106, 108. There are two ways to access the campus: vehicular and pedestrian. These means are associated with roadways that connect this sector with the city (5th Street and the Intra-city Loop), among which arteries branch off in a second order that allows accessibility. The perimeter is deteriorating in its walkways and lack of walkways and it fails to comply with the accessibility standards. Fourteen routes were identified that connect the three zones; ramps were present in zones one and two, longer routes accessed up to 80% of the total perimeter of buildings; and 20% of the perimeter is inaccessible for all types of persons. No buildings are adequately accessible to people with disabilities. Conclusions: Sixty-five (65%) of the campus area does not contain buildings; it is composed of deteriorating green border areas, common paved areas, circulation routes and parking areas that do not guarantee free mobility.

Abstract (Spanish):	Introducción: Se entiende por movilidad las condiciones que facilitan el acceso al campus mediante diversos modos de transporte. La sede de San Fernando se ubica en la comuna 19 en zona de pie de montaña. Su área es de 36 595 m2 con 15 edificios y un área verde del 20.6%. Objetivo: Determinar el estado del entorno ambiental de la sede San Fernando. Metodología: Estudio observacional descriptivo utiliza la etnografía y georeferenciación 2012-13. Resultados: Se evidenció tres zonas descendentes de ladera, separadas por vías; zona uno conformada por los edificios 130, 132, 134,135; zona dos por los edificios 118, 117, 116, 100, 122, 124, 126, 120 y zona tres por los edificios 110, 106, 108. Existen dos formas de acceder al campus: vehicular y peatonal, estas dos asociadas a las vías que comunican este sector con la ciudad (calle 5 y av. circunvalar), entre estas se ramifican arterias de segundo orden que permiten la accesibilidad. Perímetro con deterioro en andenes e inexistencia, no cumplimiento de la norma. Se identificaron 14 rutas que conectan las tres zonas, presencia de rampas en zona uno y dos, recorridos más largos con acceso al 80% del área total perimetral a edificios y un 20% aislado para accesibilidad para todo tipo de persona. Ningún edificio esta adecuado para el acceso de personas con movilidad reducida. Conclusiones: el 65% del área del campus no está edificada; se compone de bordes verdes deteriorados, bahías, rutas de circulación y parqueadero, no garantizando la libre movilidad.
