Brazil’s most famous city, Rio de Janeiro is famed worldwide for its strong and promising economy. With a population of over fifteen million forming the second-largest market in Brazil, it offers advantageous conditions for corporate newcomers and appreciates fresh investments. But none of these benefits can outweigh its tourism potential: every year, it welcomes thousands of visitors from all over the world, drawn to its beautiful beaches and other natural attractions, including Carnival, and above all the vivacious hospitality of its people.

The modern building is comprised of three floors and a basement with a total area of five thousand four hundred square meters (equal to almost sixty thousand square feet). The space can accommodate 616 students and offers 120 study areas. The building offers a modern large student lounge at the entry-level; two Harvard–style lecture theatres seating up to 70 people, and five large classrooms – each accommodating 48 students – with fixed seating and desks that are arranged in a traditional row layout.
FGV main building
Located in the South Zone of Rio de Janeiro, the FGV overlooks one of the world’s most famous and breathtaking views: the Sugarloaf. Inaugurated on December 20, 1968, its headquarters were designed by one of the most influential names in modern international architecture: Brazilian Oscar Niemeyer.
The main FGV building faces the Enseada de Botafogo cove with a shorefront bicycle path and green areas that are ideal for walks and other outdoor activities.
Close to long-established neighborhoods such as Copacabana, Flamengo, Humaitá, Jardim Botânico, Urca, Catete and Gloria, as well as the downtown CBD, it is surrounded by hostels and hotels, bars, malls and stores, subway stations and bus lines, as well as office buildings housing the head offices of major Brazilian and multinational corporations.
