USC Law and Business School Building Breaks Ground

Law and Business School Building Breaks Ground

Another milestone in USC was ushered in by the Administration to fruition and was heralded by the ground breaking ceremony which marked the dedication of the site and the start of construction work for the new Law and Business School building at the Main Campus.

The new building will cater to the increasing enrolment of the College of Law and the Graduate Business Program of the College of Commerce. The building will have 30 lecture rooms, an Audio-Visual Room, Review and Moot Courts, Administrative Offices, Exhibit Area, and Student Lounge. It will be ready for partial occupancy at the start of the Second Semester, School Year 2007-2008, and for full occupancy by December 2007.

The construction of the a new building for the Colleges of Law and Commerce is the culmination of a dream for USC, for two of its star colleges, which is no longer far and elusive, according to Fr. Louie Punzalan, SVD.

And from Fr. Teodoro Gapuz, SVD – a home of unity for future board topnotchers and outstanding businessmen – a literal and metaphorical powerhouse of professionals extending a new dimension to USC’s Credo: Witness to the word, locally and globally. The beaming faces of the administrators of the College of Commerce led by Fr. Mark Mathias, SVD, who led the prayer service and the College of Law led by Atty. Alex Monteclar summed up the response of the community to the soon-to-rise edifice.
