On January 15, 2024, the Legacy Building officially opened as an academic facility for students and employees. It features classrooms and collaborative spaces that promote creativity and intellectual development. Beyond its educational offerings, this facility accommodates the Admissions and Records Center and various allied programs, and the Senior High School, enhancing its function as a central hub for student services and support. The office was blessed by the priest back in September 4, 2024. The newly established building is home of the new Legacy Hall which serves as a new venue for events organized within the university.
The purpose of the Legacy building is to be able to cater to the increasing population of the school. The success of the school reflects on the ever-increasing number of students that choose the university to study. This strategic addition underscores UB’s unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality education and creating a supportive learning environment where students can succeed academically and personally
The new building reaches SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities, as when a building is erected an equivalent number of trees must be planted. Under City Ordinance Article VIII Section 65, “No occupancy permit shall be issued unless the building owner secures a certification which states that he has fully complied with the requirement of planting trees, preferably pine, within the construction site or in watersheds, or parks, with the required number:
a. Not less than five (5) seedlings if the land area is not more than 250 square meters;
b. Not less than ten (10) seedlings if the land area is more than 250 square meters but less than 500 square meters;
c. Not less than twenty (20) seedlings if the land area is more than 500 square meters but less than 1000 square meters; and
d. If the land above referred to is 1000 square meters or more, each tree to be cut shall be replaced with a minimum of ten (10) tree seedlings. (Ord. No. 005-2011)”
The Campus Planning Development Office went to have their tree planting activity this year to accomplish this requirement.
