Note: "Faculty" is a false cognate in Spanish. In English, "faculty" refers to the teaching staff at a university, while in Spanish, facultad refers to an academic division or school within a university (e.g., Facultad de Medicina = School of Medicine). The correct translation for facultad in English depends on the context and can be "school," "college," or "academic building." Here are some examples of facultades from the Universidad de Chile (link):
