Fernando Moreno Barberá designed what is now the Faculty of Geography and History (formerly the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters) alongside the former Faculty of Law. Both buildings share similar formal characteristics, and should be considered as a harmonious whole.

Contrasting volumes are characteristic of the Faculty of Geography and History, with alternating heights throughout the building as seen from the main facade, which gives on to Avenida de Blasco Ibáñez. Several of the buildings are faced with a curtain wall of glass and vertical metal profile with heavy horizontal slabs separating the floors, giving the facade a clearly modern aspect. Lower buildings make use of exposed concrete as a form of aesthetic representation. The entrance to the faculty is a low, broad stairway covered by a heavy marquee, typical of Moreno Barberá's designs for the Universitat de València.  The adjustable, vertical brise soleil slats on the side of the building facing Calle Dr. Moliner are another important element of the architectural discourse of the building. On the same side of the building the pillars are structured in the form of an inverted L, another element typical of Moreno Barberá’s work. Glass and exposed concrete facades characterize this architecture representative of the Mid-Century Modern movement.

An additional element that was also present in the original project is the use of vegetation around a portion of the perimeter of the main facade, together with other trees and plants to soften the starkness of the architectural elements and materials used in the structure. The building is conceived of as a set of distinct elements that come together to form a harmonious whole: light filtering through the slats of the brise soleil, vegetation, courtyards, building materials, etc.
