The PPGEC infrastructure is provided by the Universidade Federal Rural Pernambuco, such as academic and administrative buildings, libraries, technological resources and the necessary personnel (public servants who have passed the public exam and are outsourced) to achieve the Program's goals and objectives.

 

The physical facilities include two furnished classrooms with capacity for 50 people (room 1B) and 15 people (room 2B); a study room with a pantry and a resting area; a meeting room with capacity for 25 people and a room for the coordination and secretariat, with two physically separate areas. The rooms are air-conditioned and have a good internet system, a whiteboard and multimedia resources. In addition to these facilities, it is common for other rooms in Buildings A and B of the Education Department, where the PPGEC is located, to be used collaboratively.
