CEBU, Philippines - The University of the Philippines Visayas-Cebu College proposes to build an initial P486-million facility at the area in the South Road Properties donated by the Cebu City government.

This as the City Council finally approved the deed of donation to UP in yesterday’s session.

In a proposal submitted by UPVCC to city administrator Francisco Fernandez, the country’s premier university is set to construct a P486-million facility for phase one alone of the planned campus on the 51,372 square meters donated by the city.

It will also need an additional P4.1 million to make phase 1 fully operational.

According to the proposal, phase one will include the building for the Masters in Business Administration and for computer science.

Phase 2 will include the structures for communications design and the third phase will cover the structures for product design.

The MBA will have specializations on management and information systems, tourism management, environmental management, urban and regional planning and supply chain management.

For computer science and information technology, there will be a consortium arrangement with several leading higher education institutions in Cebu and with UP Diliman. — Ferliza C. Contratista/MEEV (THE FREEMAN)
