The School of Humanities and Cultural Studies is housed in the buildings of the former 9th Infantry Regiment in the old Army Camp of Kalamata, which have been granted by the Municipal Authority for this purpose. The two traditional buildings, built at the end of the 19th century, have been converted into teaching and administration facilities equipped with the necessary logistical infrastructure for their proper and safe operation.

The former "Command Post" of the Kalamata Camp, a neoclassical building of particular aesthetic value, was completely renovated under the care of the Municipality of Kalamata and with the sponsorship of the A.G. Leventis Foundation. The renovation of part of the building of the old "Companies" of the Camp was carried out with the kind donation of Vasileios Konstantinos Konstantakopoulos (+2011) and Mr. Konstantinos Arnokouros. The renovation of the remaining buildings of the old "Logos" was completed with funding from the Peloponnese 2000-2006 3rd CIP, financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) in July 2008.

The two two-storey stone buildings show great architectural and architectural interest, with absolute symmetry in the facades and simplicity in their individual architectural elements.

Characteristic is the great height and size of the openings, which are framed in full rhythm. The roughly carved cornerstones that surround the exterior walls of the two buildings break up the simplicity of the exterior facades, giving them a rustic tone, an element that appears in other buildings of Kalamata at the same time, under French influence.

The DHACMA, specifically, uses three (03) classrooms with a capacity of 520 seats and five (05) lab rooms with a capacity of thirty (30) seats. It also shares five (05) classrooms and an equal number of laboratory rooms with the Department of Literature.It should be noted that provision is made in the above classrooms for persons with mobility difficulties, through ramps and lifts, as well as special sanitary facilities. The capacity of the classrooms covers the teaching needs of the MCC based on the number of incoming students. 


The Department also uses for the support of its teaching and research work three (03) of the eight (08) houses (total area of 280 sq.m.) located in the surrounding area of the School and recently renovated with the sponsorship of the Captain Vassilis and Carmen Konstantakopoulou Foundation.The Department also has a computer room equipped with workstations, which students use for their studies, while laboratory courses and occasionally lectures (e.g. courses in Archaeometry and Management of Cultural Assets) are also held there.

Finally, in the premises of the School there is a student club that serves as a catering area for the students of both Departments of the School. The building area of the student club is 106 m² and the courtyard area is 112 m².
