%X although the buildings of the universidad de concepci車n (udec) stood up well structurally to the effects of the earthquake on 27 february 2010 in concepci車n, chile, diverse damage was generated in their non-structural elements. due to the large number of university buildings (over 100 on the concepci車n campus alone) and the need to start classes on 5 april, numerous simultaneous repair projects were generated. these were done within the national post-earthquake context and the specific context of the udec. the objective of the present article is to determine the applicability of project management in the particular case of the udec infrastructure rehabilitation projects. project management was found to be not only applicable in this case but also absolutely necessary in order to achieve the objectives of the projects.
